Lindholm will represent Sweden at the Olympics for the first time. The 32-year-old won gold at the 2018 World Championship and silver at the 2012 IIHF U18 World Championship.
He has 17 points (four goals, 13 assists) in 40 games with the Bruins.
“I have some really good memories playing for the national team, obviously one world championship there, and anytime you put it on, doesn’t matter what scenario, it’s such a cool jersey, has so much history tied to it,” Lindholm said. “So, for any player — we haven’t had that many opportunities for Olympics either for me in my career so far — it’s going to be a great honor to go there.”
Carlsson underwent a procedure Jan. 16 for a left thigh injury. The original prognosis had him missing 3-5 weeks. Carlsson ranks second on the Ducks with 44 points (18 goals, 26 assists) in 44 games.
Brodin hasn’t played since Jan. 12, and the Wild said he was week to week because of a lower-body injury when he was placed on injured reserve Jan. 15. The 32-year-old also missed four games from Dec. 13-18 because of the injury before returning to play the next 12.
He’s never represented Sweden in the Olympics after previously playing for the country at the 4 Nations Face-Off last season, the 2012 WJC and three times at the World Championship (2017, 2024, 2025). Brodin has 15 points (three goals, 12 assists) and is plus-13 in 42 games while averaging 21:20 of ice time.
The NHL Olympic break begins Feb. 6. Sweden plays its first game against host Team Italy on Feb. 11.
