Bruins Jeremy Swayman (USA), Elias Lindholm (Sweden) named to Four Nations

Bruins will represent three of the four countries in February’s Four Nations tournament to be held in Montreal and Boston.

For Team USA, Charlie McAvoy, who was among the initial group of players named to the roster, will be joined by goalie Jeremy Swayman. One would think that if the tournament start today, Swayman (7-9-2, .892 save percentage) wouldn’t see much time, but there’s still time for him to play his way into some games.

Elias Lindholm was named to Team Sweden. Defenseman Hampus Lindholm would have had a chance to be named but he’s still out for the foreseeable future with a knee injury.

Captain Brad Marchand had also already been named to Team Canada.

The only team without a Bruin will be Team Finland. Goalie Joonas Korpisalo, who has been an important pickup for the B’s as Swayman struggled out of the gate, could have been under consideration but the Finns went with Juuse Saros, Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen and Kevin Lankinen.

The round robin tourney will begin in Montreal with four games, starting on February 12, before it shifts to the Garden for a double header on February 17 and the championship game on February 20.
