Team Sweden captain Henrik Zetterberg is day-to-day with herniated disc.
The Detroit Red Wings leader missed practice Thursday and did not attend the team’s photo.
Zetterberg was placed on the Red Wing’s injured reserve in December with a herniated disc and has dealt with back issues throughout the NHL season.
Sweden is expected to address his health Thursday.
The Swedes won their opener 4-2 over the Czech Republic Wednesday; their next game is Friday against Switzerland, which won its opener 1-0 over Latvia.
