GOTHENBURG, Sweden -- When Team Sweden captain Henrik Zetterberg suffered a recent knee injury and needed to back out of the 2016 World Cup of Hockey, there were plenty of qualified candidates to replace the veteran forward.Monday, prior to the teams first training camp practice at Scandinavium, Sweden announced Henrik Sedin will wear the C for the upcoming international tournament. Teammates Daniel Sedin and Erik Karlsson will serve as assistant captains.Its an honor for sure, said Henrik Sedin. You grow up watching a lot of the national teams, and the guys who were captains back then, the star players, those are the guys you looked up to, so its an honor.After Zetterberg backed out of the tournament, Swedish coach Rikard Gronborg and his staff discussed which player would best fit the role of captain. Sedin, who was chosen for his invaluable experience at the international level, was informed of the decision on Sunday.I knew there were a few guys here that could get the call, Sedin said. It is a good group and a lot of guys have been around for a lot of years and its going to be captaincy by committee, so there are a lot of guys who can step up. Im not going to change the way I am.Sedin, 35, who also is the captain of the Vancouver Canucks, is not the only veteran leader on the team. Karlsson (Ottawa Senators) and Gabriel Landeskog (Colorado Avalanche) are also the captains for their teams.[Sedin] was the natural choice when [Zetterberg] wasnt able to go, said defenseman Victor Hedman. Hes the captain in Vancouver and has been for many years. Hes a born leader, him and his brother lead by example and Henrik is going to do a tremendous job. Hes used to all the attention Canada brings, and well follow him. Being from the same hometown as him and seeing him train in the summer and the way he prepares himself every year is something you admire. Itll be a lot of fun to have him as captain and to follow his lead.Sedin was quick to point out that the role of captain has changed in the past decade.?On a team like this, [being captain] is not as important because you have guys who have been around, he said.Swedens management and coaching staff have been preaching the importance of leadership from every player.Its a huge asset, Gronborg said. We like to have leadership by committee. Theres a lot of guys in that locker room that can push everyone else and have the authority to do so. Were encouraging everyone to make each other accountable, so its a huge plus for us.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Matt Forte has his sights set on the regular season.The New York Jets running back just needs his hamstring to be ready, too.Despite growing concerns over the health of one of the Jets key players on offense, Forte is confident hell be able to play in the season opener against Cincinnati on Sept. 11.Ill be available, Forte said Tuesday. Definitely.Forte tweaked a hamstring while running on his own before camp opened nearly three weeks ago and hasnt fully participated in a practice during training camp. He did individual drills Tuesday, though, as he did Sunday. The Jets were off Monday, but it marked consecutive practices that the 30-year-old running back was on the field.Forte had not done positional drills since Aug. 2 before working in the past two practices.Its taken longer than I expected just because were being super, super cautious about it, he said. At this point, theres no reason to rush back out there. I got a lot of reps in the offseason. I know the offense. By watching in camp, I know it a lot more. It doesnt take that long to get back into it. So, Im looking forward to being on the practice field soon.Forte, signed as a free agent in March after eight seasons in Chicago, is uncertain whether he will be able to play in any preseason games. He would like to see a few snaps against the Giants on Aug. 27, the last game most of the teams starters will play.In the last five, six years, Ive never played a ton in the preseason, Forte said. As long as Im out at practice, I think Ill be fine.But, if he misses the game against the Giants, too, hes not overly concerned that he wont be ready when the games start to count.Forte has run for 8,602 yards and 45 touchdowns in his caareer, and caught 487 passes for 4,116 yards and 19 scores during his career.dddddddddddd He is coming off a career-low 898 yards rushing in 13 games, but is only two years removed from setting an NFL record for running backs with 102 receptions.This is the most anxious Ive (been) and the most patience Ive had to have with an injury, he said. Ive always looked forward to, obviously, getting out there as soon as possible, but at this point in time, its been a process throughout camp.Forte acknowledged that the training staff has had to hold him back from rushing onto the field too quickly -- and possibly aggravating the hamstring injury.If it was up to me, Id be going at it every day to try to be out there on my own terms, he said. A lot of times, they have to protect me from myself, so I (dont want to) overwork and have a setback.Game notes WR Brandon Marshall has been excused for a day or two, coach Todd Bowles said, but will be ready to play against Washington on Friday night. ... C Nick Mangold got most of practice off so Bowles and the coaching staff could see others at the position. ... DE Muhammad Wilkerson fully participated in practice for the first time in training camp. The team had been easing him back after he broke his right leg against Buffalo in the last seasons finale. He ran around fine, Bowles said. But hes still got some ways to go before he gets in shape. ...
