Sweden adds Lindholm to World Cup squad

Team Sweden has called on Anaheim Ducks defenseman Hampus Lindholm to replace injured Detroit Red Wings blue-liner Niklas Kronwall at the World Cup.

In 2012, Lindholm won a silver medal with Team Sweden at the U-18 Championship.

Lindholm tallied 10 goals and 18 assists in 80 games with the Ducks last season.

Lindholm's addition marks the second time in a week that a Ducks skater has been added to the World Cup roster. Last week, Sweden chose Anaheim center Rickard Rakell to replace injured forward Alex Steen.
