Hedman's Absence Sinks Sweden vs US
Tampa Bay's Victor Hedman suits up for Sweden's do-or-die quarterfinal against Team USA, only to suffer a lower-body injury in warmups that sidelines the Lightning stud for the entire tilt. Sweden battles valiantly but falls 2-1 in OT, leaving teammates like Gabriel Landeskog gutted over their Norris Trophy anchor watching from the bench. Hedman fought back from surgery just to make these Olympics - his last shot at gold - and now his absence looms as the what-if that doomed Tre Kronor.
