Nybeck was selected by the Hurricanes in the fourth round of the 2020 NHL Draft. He has two points in 16 games in the SHL.
Neither player was a member of last year’s World Junior team and this will be Gunler’s final year of eligibility. Nybeck, on the other hand, will still be able to compete for a spot in the 2022 World Juniors as well.
