Two Edmonton Oilers will be representing Sweden at the 4 Nations Face-Off in February.

Though the official announcement for the Tre Kronors&#8217; roster was scheduled for later in the day on Wednesday, the Swedish news outlet <a href="https://www.expressen.se/sport/hockey/tre-kronor/avslojar-tre-kronors-trupp-i-four-nations-2025/">Expressen had the scoop early.</a> Here&#8217;s who&#8217;s suiting up for Team Sweden&#8230;
<blockquote>Goaltenders
<ul>
<li>Filip Gustavsson, Minnesota Wild</li>
<li>Jacob Markstrom, New Jersey Devils</li>
<li>Linus Ullmark, Ottawa Senators</li>
</ul>
Defencemen
<ul>
<li>Rasmus Dahlin, Buffalo Sabres</li>
<li>Rasmus Andersson, Calgary Flames</li>
<li>Mattias Ekholm, Edmonton Oilers</li>
<li>Victor Hedman, Tampa Bay Lightning</li>
<li>Gustav Forsling, Florida Panther</li>
<li>Erik Karlsson, Pittsburgh Penguins</li>
<li>Jonas Brodin, Minnesota Wild</li>
</ul>
Forwards
<ul>
<li>Adrian Kempe, Los Angeles Kings</li>
<li>William Karlsson, Vegas Golden Knights</li>
<li>Joel Eriksson Ek, Minnesota Wild</li>
<li>Gustav Nyquist, Nashville Predators</li>
<li>Elias Pettersson, Vancouver Canucks</li>
<li>Lucas Raymond, Detroit Red Wings</li>
<li>Mika Zibanejad, New York Rangers</li>
<li>Leo Carlsson, Anaheim Ducks</li>
<li>Elias Lindholm, Boston Bruins</li>
<li>Viktor Arvidsson, Edmonton Oilers</li>
<li>Filip Forsberg, Nashville Predators</li>
<li>Jesper Bratt, New Jersey Devils</li>
<li>William Nylander, Toronto Maple Leafs</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
Ekholm is a top option on a very deep Swedish blueline that features former Norris Trophy winners in Erik Karlsson and Victor Hedman along with a potential future one in Rasmus Dahlin. The 34-year-old has 10 points in 25 games logging 23:07 on average for the Oilers this season and has been involved with both special teams units.
The addition of Arvidsson comes as somewhat of a surprise given the winger&#8217;s injury troubles. The 31-year-old has five points in 16 games with the Oilers this season and hasn&#8217;t played since mid-November because of an undisclosed issue. He missed all but 18 games in 2023-24 playing for the Los Angeles Kings with a back injury.
Both Ekholm and Arvidsson have plenty of experience playing on the international stage. Ekholm won gold with Sweden at the Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament in 2008 and earned a bronze at the 2010 World Juniors while leading the tournament in plus-minus. Arvidsson won silver at both the Hlinka and the WJC and both players were on Sweden&#8217;s gold medal-winning team at the 2018 World Hockey Championships.
