Jonathan Ericsson will play on Sweden's Olympic team with his brother, Jimmie, next month in Sochi, Russia. "I'm almost more happy that he's on the team, too," said the Red Wings defenseman. "It makes me happy for both of us to be able to play together. We've tried in a couple of World Championships and he got hurt both of them." Jimmie plays right wing for Skelleftea AIK of the Swedish Hockey League, where he has 10 goals and 21 points in 33 games.

"It's a pretty cool feeling." He has eight points and 51 hits in 26 matches this season.
