The rosters for the 4 Nations Face-Off tournament are set, and Sweden will be bringing 23 of the top players from their nation as they compete for the championship. With there having been a lengthy period of time since hockey fans have seen a true best-on-best tournament, the NHL put together this tournament with Canada, USA, Finland, and of course, Sweden, to give fans a taste of what is to come with future Olympic tournaments.

Teams will have until Feb. 12, 2025, to make any roster changes due to injuries, the day the tournament begins.

Here is Team Sweden’s official roster:
