Although the final rosters for the World Cup of Hockey have been set, Sweden still has a spot to fill.

In the wake of St. Louis Blues forward Alexander Steen suffering a shoulder injury that will shelf him for four-to-six months, the Three Crowns need a new forward.

Steen will certainly be missed, topping 50 points in each of the last three seasons, and having represented Sweden five times in his career, including the 2014 Olympics, winning a silver medal.

Here are three options to fill the void.

Gustav Nyquist

One of the surprising omissions from the team, Detroit Red Wings sniper Gustav Nyquist could be a valuable option for Sweden.

The 26-year-old scored 43 points this season - a career low - but his speed and scoring touch could fit in well among Sweden's top lines.

Not to mention, Nyquist could slot in alongside Red Wings' linemate Henrik Zetterberg.

Mika Zibanejad

Mika Zibanejad's stock has never been higher. The 23-year-old is coming off his best NHL season, scoring 21 goals and 30 assists in 81 games for the Ottawa Senators.

A right-handed shot, Zibanejad could be valuable as Sweden only has three righties among its forwards.

Zibanejad is rounding into the player the Senators expected when they drafted him sixth overall in 2011, and he's come up big for Sweden before, scoring the golden goal at the 2012 World Junior Championships.

Patrik Berglund

Another fit for Sweden could be Steen's linemate and fellow Olympic silver medalist Patrik Berglund.

Coming off an injury-plagued season, Berglund only scored 15 points, but notched nine during the Blues playoff run when he was fully healthy.

Though he's not as flashy as the previous two options, Berglund could provide stability in the bottom portion of Sweden's lineup.

The San Jose Sharks are drawing inspiration from a cult movie franchise to hype up fans at Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final on Saturday night.

The rally towel for the first ever Cup Final game in San Jose features an artist's rendering clearly inspired by the "Sharknado" series of films starring former "Beverly Hills, 90210" star Ian Ziering.

Let's just hope the game is better than the movies.

P.K. Subban's love for the Toronto Blue Jays took him all the way to Fenway Park.

The Montreal Canadiens defenseman was in attendance Friday in Boston as the Blue Jays opened a three-game series against the Red Sox. While he was there, though, Subban had fun with a couple Red Sox fans, tricking them into cheering for the opposing team and catching it on video for good measure.

But if you thought getting caught on video cheering for the other team was bad enough, Toronto also went on to win 5-2.

Alexander Steen won't play for Sweden in the World Cup of Hockey this fall.

The St. Louis Blues forward had shoulder surgery and will be re-evaluated in four months, the club announced Friday.

Steen missed more than five weeks of action after dislocating his shoulder on on a hit by Arizona Coyotes defenseman Kevin Connauton in February.

He posted only four goals and 11 assists in 26 games - including the playoffs - following his return in late March.

The 32-year-old ranked second on the Blues with 52 points during the regular season.

Steen was named to Sweden's World Cup roster in March, but his injury will keep him out until at least early October, meaning he'll likely miss the whole tournament, which runs from Sept. 17 to Oct. 1.

San Jose Sharks coach Pete DeBoer admitted Friday that matching forward lines with the Pittsburgh Penguins is a challenge, largely due to the fact they boast elite scoring weapons on all three lines.

But as the series shifts to San Jose and the Sharks gain last change, it's become quite simple for Marc-Edouard Vlasic.

When Amalie Benjamin of NHL.com told Vlasic he and defense partner Justin Braun lined up against Sidney Crosby's top line just 22 percent of the time in Game 1 and 35 percent in Game 2, he responded:

"That's not enough. Should be 90-95 (percent), so 35 is too low. Too low."

The shutdown defender noted that at 35 percent, Crosby's seen equal opportunity against all three pairs. This is obviously a major concern for San Jose, considering the steep drop-off in talent - namely on the third unit.

Having final change will help the Sharks in this regard, but if the Penguins continue to control puck possession as they have through the first two games, they'll have a hand in dictating matchups regardless of venue.

Patrik Laine may have pushed a little too hard in his pursuit for the No. 1 pick at the upcoming NHL draft.

The projected No. 2 overall selection was unable to finish the VO2 max bike test at the NHL Combine after experiencing discomfort in his left knee eight minutes into the rigorous endurance test.

"I'm OK," he said, according to NHL.com's Mike Morreale. "I didn't finish the test because I just don't want to get hurt; I have an important summer and I don't want to miss that."

He plans to continue with select testing at workouts throughout the weekend, but performing upper body exercises only.

Laine previously had surgery on his left knee.

Matthew Tkachuk has an eye for talent; he chose to play out his draft season with the London Knights, after all.

So when the top prospect for the upcoming NHL draft - who shared a line with the most dominant offensive force in Major Junior last season and has been rocketing up draft boards himself - offers an evaluation on a particular player, well, it carries some weight.

But his evaluation of Connor McDavid will have fans dreaming up scenarios, too.

"McDavid is going to be the best player in the NHL, if he's not already," Tkachuk said at the NHL Draft Combine in Buffalo on Friday.

Unlike with his decision to sign with London, Tkachuk won't have the luxury of picking his spot when he enters the pro ranks. But with the Edmonton Oilers currently holding the No. 4 selection, the club's expected to have the opportunity to pluck Tkachuk off the board.

With that, the Oilers could one day skate Tkachuk on a line with the player they hope he pegged accurately.

Alexander Radulov is apparently setting the bar high.

The former Nashville Predators forward is eyeing a return to the NHL after four seasons in the KHL, but his contract demands reportedly far exceed what at least one team is willing to pay.

"A number of teams are interested in Alex Radulov, no question about that, including Detroit," TSN's Darren Dreger reported on Friday's edition of "Insider Trading."

MLive's Ansar Khan reported Thursday that the Red Wings were reluctant to give Radulov more than one year and more than $5 million.

"The belief is the Red Wings are comfortable (with) a one-year deal at around four million, but a couple of NHL sources have indicated he wants two years at $7.5 million per (season)," Dreger reported Friday.

Radulov notched 65 points in 53 regular-season games for CSKA Moscow this season, adding 16 points in 20 playoff contests. He led the team to the Gagarin Cup Final, which it lost in seven games to Metallurg Magnitogorsk.

The 29-year-old winger registered 47 goals and 102 points in 154 games over two stints with the Predators, the first coming between 2006 and 2008, followed by his return for the 2011-12 campaign.

There could be a brand new cast of characters on Broadway next season.

TSN's Bob McKenzie reported Friday on "Insider Trading" that the New York Rangers are "wide open for business" and willing to consider a trade involving virtually any player on the roster.

McKenzie notes that netminder Henrik Lundqvist and likely Ryan McDonagh are safe from consideration, but the rest of the team's high-paid stars - namely Rick Nash, Derek Stepan, and Derick Brassard - could be moved to "shuffle the deck" and help recoup picks, prospects, and cap space.

That said, he cautions this isn't the jump point for a full-fledged rebuild for general manager Jeff Gorton, rather discussions and perhaps transactions aimed to introduce a new competitive dynamic.

Only the Chicago Blackhawks and Los Angeles Kings have won more playoff games than the Rangers over the past five seasons. But in their ultimately unsuccessful title chase, they've pillaged their prospect pool and spoiled their depth.
