    ELIAS LINDHOLM's seemlingly harmless shot sneaks through Korpisalo's legs. It might have tipped off a defenceman's stick.
     
    33:06
    Sweden's Calle Andersson gets 2 minutes for hooking.
     
    36:54
    Goal for Team Sweden!
    Parked at the side of the net, ANDRE BURAKOWSKY sweeps the puck inside the post to give Sweden the lead.
