On Friday, almost every country announced their rosters for the 2026 Winter Olympics. There weren’t many surprises. Jack Hughes made Team USA despite recently returning from his injury. That was clearly never in doubt since he was on the Today Show to help announce the team. Jacob Markstrom made Sweden over Linus Ullmark to be the veteran on that squad. Simon Nemec was named to the Slovakian team despite his current injury.
Everyone else was pretty much a lock. In all, the New Jersey Devils have eight representatives going to Milan, Italy in February.
