Swedish captain Henrik Zetterberg day-to-day with back injury
Swedish captain Henrik Zetterberg missed his team's practice on Thursday while receiving treatment on a herniated disc in his back that has caused the Detroit Red Wings forward some discomfort all season.
From Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press:
Sweden doctor said Henrik Zetterberg injury is herniated disk (same as with #RedWings), is day-to-day, may play Friday v Swiss. #Sochi2014

Zetterberg is officially listed as day-to-day, and the hope is that he'll be able to continue playing for the Tre Kronor in Sochi.
But that decision hasn't been made yet - at least not formally - it would seem:
Sweden doc Waldenberg says Zetterberg day-to-day, "But we don't have so many days." Perhaps more substantial decision tomorrow.
