    57:38
    Now a big collision at the Swiss line between Axel Andersson and Linus Lindstrom and Linstrom is down and hurt. Andersson has been given a major penalty for kneeing and a game misconduct! So Sweden on the PP for the rest of regulation time.
     
    53:44
    Sweden back at full strength but it looks now like Jesper Bokvist is going to the box for tripping. Swiss right back to the PP.
     
    51:25
    Big scramble in front of the crease, Wuthrich keeps it out. Lias Andersson called for slashing, then given 10 for arguing it, so he's done for the rest of the 3rd period.

    Swiss to the PP . . . that's how they've scored all 3 goals today.
     
    49:33
    And in fact we were 6 on 5 for a while, but the Swiss have been caught with too many players on the ice. Bench minor, and the dangerous Swedish power play goes back to work.
     
    47:16
    The Swiss PP is now over as Livio Stadler, who was part of orchestrating the tying goal, is off for high-sticking.
     
    46:29
    And now how about this? Marcus Davidsson called for tripping and the Swiss have a 5-on-3 for :52! Of course, they failed on a 5-on-3 earlier in the game.
     
    45:21
    They just scored on the power play and now the Swiss go right back to the power play with a chance to tie it. It's Oliver Horrsell called for high-sticking.
     
    43:00
    Play goes back to the Swedish zone and we've got a penalty, David Deutsch for tripping. His name all over the scoresheet today. Swiss to the PP with a big chance to get back in the game.
     
    36:20
    And right after the goal Yannick Lerch is assessed a 10-minute misconduct. He must have said something to the referee.
     
    33:35
    It was Jacob Cedarholm for cross-checking at the tail end of that 2 on 1, so Switzerland now has a 2-man advantage for :29.
     
    32:04
    Now with :05 left in the Swedish penalty we have some pushing and shoving at the side of the Swiss net and we're going to get penalties . . .

    Viktor Ojdemark and Lias Andersson each get roughing minors, plus Andersson gets an extra 2 for slashing – probably on the goalie, which started the whole thing. So we'll play 4-on-4 for :05, then Switzerland will go to the power play.
     
    30:09
    Swedes all over the Swiss and now they're going to the power play, as Yannich Lerch goes off for tripping.
     
    25:53
    Off-setting penalties are coming and the teams will play 4-on-4 for the next two minutes.
     
    19:41
    Switzerland's Marco Miranda called for high-sticking. Power play Sweden, 1/2 today.
     
    15:45
    Switzerland's Cyril Oehen takes a tripping penalty deep in the Swedish zone. Swedes had chances on their first PP but couldn't cash in, they're 0/1.
     
    11:58
    Swiss called for icing again, but after the whistle Jacob Cedarholm is called for cross-checking, which moves the faceoff all the way down to their own end. Swiss 1/2 on the PP.
     
    08:49
    The Swiss now getting their first penalty of the game, Livio Stadler for slashing in his own zone. Swedes to the power play.
     
    05:11
    Just as the Swedes kill off one penalty they're getting another – Erik Brannstrom for interference. Swiss to the PP again, 0/1.
     
    03:09
    Now Sweden getting the game's first penalty, David Deutsch for holding the stick. Power play Switzerland.
