DETROIT (AP) — Sweden’s Olympic hockey team has replaced an injured Detroit Red Wings forward with a healthy one.

Former University of Maine men’s ice hockey standout Gustav Nyquist was given a spot on the roster on Monday to replace Johan Franzen.

The 24-year-old Nyquist has been a key player lately for the Red Wings and that likely helped him earn a spot for the Sochi Games.

Marcus Johansson of the Washington Capitals and Patrick Hornqvist of the Nashville Predators, both of whom have more points than Nyquist this season, were also potential candidates to play for the Swedes.

Franzen was ruled out to play in Russia because of a concussion. He played in the 2010 Olympics.

Nyquist has 13 goals and nine assists for 22 points in 30 games this season with the Red Wings. He scored a hat trick and added an assist in Detroit’s game against the Washington Capitals on Feb. 2. 

Nyquist played for the Black Bears from 2008-2009 through 2010-2011. In three years at Maine, he tallied 50 goals and 94 assists for 144 points in 113 career games, putting him at 19th on Maine’s all-time scoring list A two-time All-American, Nyquist was named to the Hobey Baker Hat Trick in 2010. 

Nyquist becomes the 13th player in Maine men’s ice hockey history to represent their country in the Olympics.
