Unlike Alex Ovechkin and John Carlson, Nicklas Backstrom and Marcus Johansson didn’t play on Thursday. Instead, Team Sweden held practice and took their team photos.

The Swedish-language site Aftonbladet has photos.

Swedish Captain Henrik Zetterberg did not attend practice or take photos with the team. According to the Detroit Free Press, Zetterberg’s back injury has flared up. His status for Friday is uncertain, possibly opening up space for Washington forward Marcus Johansson.
