Jonathan Ericsson (back) is optimistic that he will return for Sweden in the quarterfinals of the world championship, which begin Thursday.
Ericsson sustained a lower-back injury in Game 1 of the world championship, and Detroit thought the rearguard would miss the rest of the tournament. He told Sweden's Aftonbladet that he hopes to be in there in a few days. Red Wings general manager Ken Holland called it "good news."
