Fresh off a successful season when he became the Flyers' No. 1 goalie, Ersson will represent his country in the tournament, which starts Friday in Czechia.
Ersson has worn the three crowns before. He was the third-string goalie for the U18 team in 2017, played on the U19 team the following year, and jumped into the spotlight at the 2019 World Junior Championship. He got to start the first game after Olle Eriksson Ek was suspended for removing his silver medal the year before — and took the No. 1 spot. Ersson went 3-1 with a 2.23 GAA and a .922 save percentage for the fifth-place squad.
Lindblom played for the Swedish club for three seasons after being selected by the Flyers in the fifth round of the 2014 NHL draft. Before signing his three-year entry-level contract in 2017, Lindblom was named Swedish forward of the year in 2016-17 when he finished second in the SHL in goals and fourth in points .
Lindblom, 27, spent five seasons with the Flyers, collecting 97 points in 263 games. In December 2019, leading the Flyers in goals with 11, the Gavle, Sweden, native was diagnosed with Ewing’s sarcoma, a rare form of bone cancer. He was 23 at the time of the diagnosis and this type of cancer is more common in children and teenagers.
