Oliver Ekman-Larsson has been named to Team Sweden's Olympic roster. Ekman-Larsson will join William Nylander on the Swedish team. Oliver Ekman-Larsson has had a very strong season with the Maple Leafs this season, as he has been the most consistent and reliable defenceman on the Maple Leafs blueline. This will be Ekman-Larsson's second trip to the Olympics, as he previously participated for the Swedes in 2014, where he won a silver medal.
At any rate, we got into full analysis and breakdown of their 3-2 OT loss against San Jose. Firstly, they got a point, so that means the point streak is now up to six games (4-0-2). That said, there's no question that they let that game slip away. John Klingberg tied it with 1:25 left in regulation, then Alex Wennberg potted the OT winner. And yes, we did discuss the carelessness with the puck from William Nylander and Auston Matthews late in the game.
Toronto Maple Leafs defenceman Oliver Ekman-Larsson is turning back the clock this season with his offensive numbers, while still providing his steady defensive play. It should give Team Sweden's Olympic head coach Sam Hallam something to think about before the team's roster is due on December 31.
