Snubbed Swede praised: "Should be part of the Olympic Games"

San Jose's William Eklund was not selected for Tre Kronor's squad for the Four Nations.

But it doesn't seem to have affected the 22-year-old.

Tonight, he scored a goal in the loss against Winnipeg (2–1) – which means points in his fifth consecutive NHL match.

Which prompts his coach Ryan Warsofsky to issue a call to Tre Kronor's national team captain Sam Hallam.

He should be part of the Swedish Olympic Games team.

In tonight's other NHL match, Adrian Kempe, who played in the Four Nations, scored two assist points in the win against Vegas (5–2). He is Los Angeles' top scorer with 48 points this season.
