    Thank you for following the game with us! Good night! (22:40:25)
     
    With now 9 points Sweden have made a big jump towards the quarterfinals while Norway suffered another heavy setback after yesterday's 1-7 loss against Canada.
     
    With a double early in the third period Sweden decided the match in their favour before adding another one into the empty net when Norway risked everything. Taking the whole match into consideration the Norwegians were only in the middle period able to keep the game quite open.

    Shots on goal: Norway 7 (21) – Sweden 21 (48)
