Gustavsson (illness) was present at Team Sweden's meeting Sunday and is expected to be available for Monday's matchup with the USA, Dan Rosen of NHL.com reports. Gustavsson started Saturday against Finland but allowed two goals on four shots before departing late in the opening period with an illness.
Sam Ersson stood on the green faux soccer field at the CN Sports Complex in Brossard, Quebec. The Flyers goalie was doing his off-ice warmup before Sweden’s first practice at 4 Nations Face-Off on Feb.
Ullmark was the first goalie off the ice Monday, Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic reports, indicating he'll be between the pipes for Sweden's clash with Team USA. Ullmark saw action in relief of Filip Gustavsson against Finland on Saturday and will now get the starting nod for a crucial matchup with the Americans.
BOSTON -- Despite two 4-3 overtime losses at the 4 Nations Face-Off in Montreal, Sweden believes it played well enough and deserves a better fate in its third game of the best-of-best tournament, which moves to TD Garden against the United States on Monday (8 p.m. ET; MAX, truTV, TNT, SN, TVAS).
Sweden and the USA will conclude round-robin play in a marquee matchup that still might not carry much weight, as Sweden will be eliminated if the game in the early window is settled inside regulation, no matter which country comes out on top.
