William Karlsson And Jonas Rondbjerg To Play In World Championship

May 17, 2025 at 3:59 pm CDT | by Brian La Rose 6 Comments

While the Golden Knights saw their playoff run come to an end when they were eliminated by Edmonton earlier this week, at least two of their players will see their season continue for at least a few more days.  The team announced (Twitter link) that center William Karlsson will join Sweden and winger Jonas Rondbjerg will join Denmark for the rest of the World Championship.

Karlsson is coming off a particularly rough year, both in terms of injuries and from a production standpoint.  The 32-year-old was limited to just nine goals and 20 assists in 53 games during the regular season.  He produced at a similar rate in the playoffs, picking up three goals and three helpers in their 11 contests.  With Sweden co-hosting the event this year, they have a strong roster and Karlsson will certainly give them a boost heading into the medal round.

As for Rondbjerg, he spent the bulk of the year with AHL Henderson but did get into 13 games with Vegas where he was held off the scoresheet.  While he hasn’t been able to crack their lineup full-time, he has seen action with the Golden Knights for the last four years, spanning 76 games in total.  Meanwhile, with the Silver Knights, the 26-year-old had 11 goals and 15 assists in 53 games.  While pending free agents often don’t play in this event, Rondbjerg will be an exception as he’ll be eligible for Group Six unrestricted free agency this summer.  He wasted little time flying over for the event as he scored today against Norway.

Earlier today, it was revealed that center Tomas Hertl had hoped to play for the Czechs but didn’t receive medical clearance from team doctors.  It remains to be seen if any other Golden Knights will head over for the final half of the tournament with the medal round set to start on Thursday.

    Isn’t there a cut off date in this tournament for adding new players?

      No — teams just have to stay at or under the roster limits.

      So Team USA can add Hellebuyck or Oettinger to the roster and send Swayman home? :)

      Haha. That’s a legitimately good question, as I’m unsure whether you can subtract players from the roster to make room for others. Teams usually leave a couple of open spots at the beginning of the tournament to make additions.

      Good, I’d like to see more than a few additions/subtractions to the U.S. roster. :)
