Logged huge ice time against Switzerland, over 4 minutes more than 2nd-best Scott Niedermayer. Against Germany, the puck actually blew through the net for his score. Named by the media to the All-Star Team from the Olympic tournament.

Had the primary assist on the opening goal in the win over Latvia, but hasn't created much offensively at all. His delay of game penalty against Finland led to their winning goal, which eliminated the Czech Republic from the tournament.

One penalty led to a power play goal for Belarus, allowing them back into a game that Sweden had led 3-0 beforehand. Against Finland, an elbow to the head late in the second period by Joni Pitkanen knocked him from the game. Came back from that to score against Slovakia in the quarterfinal. Tied for 2nd on Team Sweden in shots on goal.

3rd on German defense in ice time behind Christian Ehrhoff and Dennis Seidenberg, his hooking penalty in the 3rd period against Belarus led to their winning goal on the ensuing power play.
