Islanders’ Emil Heineman a surprise Sweden snub for 2026 Winter Olympics as Simon Holmstrom also misses cut
NY Post
Tre Kronor will have noll Islanders.
Neither Emil Heineman nor Simon Holmstrom were named to Team Sweden’s Olympic squad Friday in a surprise snub for Heineman in particular.
Heineman appeared to be in good shape to get on the plane to Milan with 12 goals, six assists and an ascension into the Islanders’ top six in what’s been an excellent season in New York.
His ability to play on any line and on the penalty kill were reasons to think he’d be selected as well.
Holmstrom was seen as a longer shot to make the roster given his offensive inconsistency this season, but there was still a chance Sweden would have wanted his defensive and penalty-killing abilities.
Instead, the brass led by general manager Josef Boumedienne and coach Sam Hallam pulled a handful of surprises in its forward corps.
