In their final preliminary game against the USA yesterday, Sweden lost two players to injury: defender Rasmus Sandin and forward André Petersson. As the latter is out for the rest of the tournament, he will be replaced by HC Davos forward Dennis Rasmussen.
As HockeyNews.se already wrote before the official announcement, the 32-year-old got on an early plane to Riga this morning to join the Swedish national team there.
