Red Wings prospect and Team Sweden alternate captain Simon Edvinsson tells SVT.se that he’s ready to play in today’s 2 PM EDT game vs. Switzerland:
Edvinsson ready for the WJC premiere
Swedish star defenseman Simon Edvinsson was injured in the WJC exhibition game.
Now he’s been given the green light to play in the opener against Switzerland.
“I’ve practiced,” he says to SVT Sport.
It was in the exhibition against Canada that 19-year-old Simon Edvinsson stepped off the ice with an injury.
However, now it’s clear that the key player, who broke through with Frolunda and has been drafted by Detroit, will play in tonight’s opener vs. Switzerland.
He has his eyes set on gold, and underlines the importance of the collective effort from Sweden.
“We will have to come together as a group to make it work. This is not a one-man show.”
The Junior Krona premiere at the WJC starts at 20:00 Swedish time tonight.
