Winslow Townson / USA TODAY Sport
The King is back.
Team Sweden head coach Rickard Gronborg has confirmed that Henrik Lundqvist will play against Team Finland on Tuesday.
Lundqvist was a late scratch in Sweden's first game, as the star goalie dealt with an undisclosed illness. Backup Jacob Markstrom stepped in as Sweden defeated Russia 2-1.
Meanwhile, goalie Tuukka Rask will get the start for Finland after serving as backup to Pekka Rinne in Finland's 4-1 loss to Team North America in its tournament opener.
