4 Nations Roster Remix: 2010 Sweden team

The top NHL players from Canada, Finland, Sweden and the United States will go head-to-head at the 4 Nations Face-Off, a best-on-best tournament that will be held from Feb. 12-20 in Montreal and Boston.

Though this is the first tournament of its kind to feature these four countries, NHL.com and NHL.com International have put together what the rosters and line combinations for each country would have looked like in the past, going backwards in five-year intervals. The rosters will follow the same format as the current 4 Nations teams: 13 forwards, seven defensemen and three goalies.

The stories will run each Friday and Sunday through Feb. 9.

Today, NHL.com/sv senior writer Janne Bengtsson, reveals what his Sweden roster would've looked like in 2010.

Forwards (13)

Daniel Sedin -- Nicklas Backstrom -- Henrik Sedin

Tomas Holmstrom -- Henrik Zetterberg -- Daniel Alfredsson

Fredrik Modin -- Samuel Pahlsson -- Alexander Steen

Johan Franzen -- Patric Hornqvist -- Mikael Samuelsson

Loui Eriksson

By moving Henrik Sedin, a center, to the right, Sweden enters the tournament with a potent top line. Henrik and Daniel Sedin (Vancouver Canucks) and Backstrom (Washington Capitals) combined for 298 points (91 goals) in the 2009-10 season. Detroit Red Wings teammates Zetterberg and Holmstrom form a high-scoring second line with Alfredsson, then captain of the Ottawa Senators. Pahlsson (Columbus Blue Jackets), a defensive center and penalty-kill specialist, leads the third line. Hornqvist, a workhorse for the Nashville Predators, is the center on the fourth line with Franzen (Red Wings) and Samuelsson (Canucks).

Defensemen (7)

Nicklas Lidstrom -- Mattias Ohlund

Niklas Kronwall -- Anton Stralman

Erik Karlsson -- Douglas Murray

Tobias Enstrom

Lidstrom, a four-time Stanley Cup champion with the Red Wings who won the Norris Trophy seven times voted the best at his position in the NHL, leads the defense corps. Kronwall (Red Wings), a hard hitter, forms the second line with Stralman, a power-play specialist for the Blue Jackets. Murray (San Jose Sharks) comes with power and toughness and is paired with Karlsson, then an exciting rookie with the Senators.

Goalies (3)

Henrik Lundqvist

Johan Hedberg

Jonas Gustavsson

Lundqvist played 73 games for the New York Rangers in 2009-10 and is the obvious choice as Sweden's No. 1 goalie. Hedberg (Atlanta Thrashers) is the backup and Gustavsson (Toronto Maple Leafs) is No. 3.
