Jacob Markström takes his place in goal, just like in the quarterfinal win over the Czech Republic with 5–2 on Thursday.

The first line with William Nylander and Lucas Raymond with center William Karlsson is unchanged in the semifinal.

It's clear when the official team lineups were published.

Raymond and Leo Carlsson scored two goals each and Filip Forsberg the fifth in the quarterfinal against the Czech Republic.

The USA advanced to the semifinal by defeating Finland with 5–2.

The USA, as expected, starts star goalie Jeremy Swayman between the posts.

Sweden's team:

Goalies: 25 Jacob Markström (33 Samuel Ersson).

Defense pairs: 38 Rasmus Sandin, 8 Jonas Brodin – 77 Simon Edvinsson, 4 Rasmus Andersson – 29 Marcus Pettersson, 6 Adam Larsson – 56 Erik Gustafsson.

Lines: 23 Lucas Raymond, 71 William Karlsson, 88 William Nylander – 28 Elias Lindholm, 11 Mikael Backlund, 9 Filip Forsberg – 93 Mika Zibanejad, 91 Leo Carlsson, 90 Marcus Johansson – 10 Alexander Wennberg, 37 Isac Lundeström, 51 Emil Heineman.

Extra forward: 82 Jesper Frödén.
