In 2012, Lindholm won a silver medal with Team Sweden at the U-18 Championship.
Lindholm tallied 10 goals and 18 assists in 80 games with the Ducks last season.
Lindholm's addition marks the second time in a week that a Ducks skater has been added to the World Cup roster. Last week, Sweden chose Anaheim center Rickard Rakell to replace injured forward Alex Steen.
