Tre Kronor started the World Cup with three straight wins. Before meeting Finland tomorrow, you can now get some more reinforcements in the form of Dallas forward Jacob Peterson.
– There are a few things left before he joins, but I hope he does. There are a few things you need to do in terms of insurance, tests etc, but hopefully he will be here until tomorrow, national team captain Johan Garbenlov tells SVT.
“Means a lot”
The 22-year-old Peterson grew up in Lidköping and played with Swedish superstar Rasmus Dahlen during his younger years.
– It’s so much fun. We grew up together. He’s had a very good season in the NHL and being able to play with him for the national team is a dream come true. I look forward to it incredibly much, Dahlin says.
How big is it with two men from Lidköping in Tre Kronor?
– It means a lot to the city and to us both. We have struggled so hard in our careers. We’re still young and actually being able to play together is quite sick.
Jacob Peterson was noted with 17 NHL points during his debut season with the Dallas Stars.
More reinforcements are on the way
In addition to Peterson, there may be more NHL reinforcements on the way. Boston goalkeeper Linus Olmark and Pittsburgh defender Marcus Peterson are also on the cusp of securing a spot on the team. According to Hockeynews.
