The win gives Canada a perfect 4-0 record and 12 points in the Group A standings while Sweden remains tied with Switzerland in second with eight. Sweden lost for the first time after two regulation wins and one in OT.
“We had a big wake-up call in the first,” admitted Tyler Seguin. “We went to the dressing room and talked before the second. A lot of guys were saying we can do better. We can score goals. We can be better at defending. We put it all together and came away with three points.”
Eleven players recorded a point for Canada, which took advantage of some shaky goaltending from Anders Nilsson. Taylor Hall had a goal and assist for the winners and now is tied for the overall scoring lead with Yevgeni Dadonov. Both players have eight points in four games. Hall and Filip Forsberg, who also scored tonight for the Swedes, are tied for the goals lead with five each.
Sweden continues with a game against Germany tomorrow while Canada now has a two-day break before playing France on Saturday afternoon.
“Obviously our first period was really good, but after that, Canada turned it up and we sat back a little too much and let them come attack us,” noted Forsberg. “That’s not going to cut it against this good of a team.”
Canada found itself on its heels right from the opening faceoff and just never got on track in the first period. Tre Kronor opened the scoring at 5:06 on a give-and-go behind the Canadian goal between linemates Loui Eriksson and Anton Lander.
