Andersson has not registered a point and is a minus-2 through two games for Sweden, so he'll come out of the lineup Saturday vs. Slovakia. Oliver Ekman-Larsson will move into a more regular role to replace Andersson and Hampus Lindholm will suit up as the seventh defenseman.
Schmid has been so-so for the Golden Knights this season, he's got a strong record at 16-6-6 but has a 2.53 GAA and league average .895 SV%. The last time he suited up for Team Switzerland was in the 2024 World Championships, where he was 3-0-0 with a dazzling 0.86 GAAm .946 SV% and one shutout. He'll be a busy man on Friday vs. Canada, as Switzerland unsparingly enter the game as massive underdogs.
Rondbjerg suffered an undisclosed injury in Anaheim on February 1st and will miss the Olympics. This is a huge blow to team Denmark, as Rondbjerg was one of just seven NHLers on the roster. His replacement, Setkov, is a defenseman, giving Denmark eight blueliners at the event.
McNabb has not played since suffering an upper-body injury on New Year's Eve and will target a return to the lineup after the Olympic break. The 34-year-old defenseman is averaging 20:48 time-on-ice and has three points (2G / 1A) in 38 games this season.
Hill has struggled since returning from a prolonged absence due to a lower-body injury, but will tend the twine on Thursday, hoping to head into the Olympic break on a high note. The 29-year-old Hill returned from injury on January 15th and has posted a 3.98 GAA and .837 SV% in six games since (2-3-1). The Golden Knights enter Thursday's contest as -130 home favourites against a low-scoring Los Angeles Kings team that was defeated 4-2 last night by the Seattle Kraken.
Adin Hill has struggled since returning from a lower-body injury, but the Golden Knights have also not received reliable goaltending from Schmid, who will return to the crease on Wednesday against the Vancouver Canucks. The 25-year-old Schmid has lost three straight (0-2-1), posting a 3.30 GAA and .870 SV%. He has lost six of his last nine (4-3-2), with a 2.86 GAA and .882 SV%. Still, the Golden Knights enter Wednesday's contest as significant -284 home favourites against a reeling Canucks team that has scored two or fewer goals in five straight games (1-3-1).

Uchacz is an undrafted 22-year-old forward who has yet to play an NHL game. He has spent the last two seasons in the AHL and has 20 points (6G / 14A) through 39 games with Henderson (AHL) in 2025-26.

The Golden Knights have received inadequate goaltending the last two weeks, with Adin Hill directly at the forefront. The 29-year-old Hill has had trouble finding his footing since returning from a lower-body injury that sidelined him for nearly three months, posting an abysmal 4.18 GAA and .831 SV% in five games (2-2-1). Hill hopes to rebound on Sunday, as the Golden Knights enter as +104 road underdogs against an Anaheim Ducks team that has been outscored 9-4 in its last two games (0-2-0).
