Toronto Maple Leafs winger William Nylander is among the latest additions to Team Sweden for the upcoming World Hockey Championship in Slovakia.

The team has announced the addition of Nylander, Pittsburgh Penguins defenceman Marcus Pettersson, Nashville Predators defenceman Mattias Ekholm and confirmed the addition of Calgary Flames forward Elias Lindholm.

Nylander, 22, sat out training camp, the preseason and 28 regular season games until December due to a contract dispute with the Maple Leafs. He made his season debut on Dec. 6 and posted 27 points, including seven goals, in 54 games. He added one goal and three points during the Leafs first-round series against the Boston Bruins.

"He has a chance to be a real good player," Maple Leafs head coach Mike Babcock said of Nylander last week. "He wasn't a good player ... he needs to get outta here, he needs to get home, he needs to get recharged, he needs to get training and get his game back on track and get his swagger back"

The tournament runs from May 10-26, with Sweden taking on the Czech Republic in their first game on opening day.
