Ottawa Senators Former Goaltender Drops Out of World Cup

Robin Lehner has dropped out of the tournament and won’t be representing Team Sweden alongside his former teammate Erik Karlsson.

Henrik Lundqvist, Jacob Markstrom, and Jhonas Enroth will be the goaltenders on the Team Sweden roster.

Lehner struggled with injuries last season, hurting his ankle in the opening game for the Buffalo Sabres, coincidentally against the Senators. That ankle is still giving him problems, forcing his removal from this tournament.

He didn’t play again until the middle of January, and ended up making 20 more appearances until the injury forced him to miss the last 11 games of the season.
