59:38. Jacob CEDARHOLM - 4:3
	59:38	Goal for Team Sweden! Brannstrom from the halfboards to JACOB CEDARHOLM at the point, he makes a move to beat a Swiss PKer and then fires a beautiful wrister from the top of the circle that beats Wuthrich high. Power-play goal, and the power play will continue to the end. Assist: Erik Brannstrom.
59:01.
	59:01	Hischier tries to go upstairs with it but Gustavsson gets a blocker on it and deflects it high. Faceoff in the Swedish zone, Swedish PP continues.
59:01.
	59:01	Shorthanded breakaway for Nico Hischier, a Swedish backchecker catches him with a slash and he's getting a penalty shot.
	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.
	56:18	Davidsson feeds Nylander in all alone, big save Philip Wuthrich! Nylander argues as he thinks a Swiss backchecker got a stick on him, but Wuthrich saved the day there to keep it 3-3.
	55:32	The Swiss put the puck in the net but it's waved off immediately. Fabian Steinmann's shot hit a stick in front and the referee was right on top of that one. Faceoff outside with :12 left in the penalty.
	54:26	Dangerous Swedish 2 on 2 rush shorthanded, Wahlgren to Oskar and Wuthrich had to be sharp to haul in his onep-timer.
	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.
	53:15	One-timer from Lee Roberts hits the far goal post.
	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.
46:45. Dominik VOLEJNICEK - 3:3
	46:45	Goal for Team Switzerland! But they cash in this time! Stadler's shot through a crowd is stopped, but DOMINIK VOLEJNICEK gets the rebound and backhands it over a fallen Gustavsson. He scores twice on the PP to tie this game! And their power play continues. Assists: Livio Stadler, Axel Andersson.
	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.
43:52. Dominik VOLEJNICEK - 3:2
	43:52	Goal for Team Switzerland! What a goal by DOMINIK VOLEJNICEK! He picked up the puck behind the net, circled out the the top of the circle and then fired a bullet high glove side on Gustavsson, who reacted slowly and was probably screened. Power-play goal. Assist: Marco Miranda.
	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.
	40:23	The Swiss go to the attack right away, Volejnicek with a couple whacks at it but Gustavsson keeps it out and covers.
	39:01	Now a scramble in the Swedish crease, the Swiss put the puck in the net but the whistle went a split-second before. Attacking player in the crease, faceoff outside.
	36:20	And right after the goal Yannick Lerch is assessed a 10-minute misconduct. He must have said something to the referee.
36:20. Oliver OLSSON - 3:1
	36:20	Goal for Team Sweden! Once again Deutsch and Nylander showing nice work with the puck to set up OLIVER OLSSON, who fires a wrister off the post and in. Assists: Alexander Nylander, David Deutsch.
	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.
	33:20	2 on 1 Switzerland, Lee Roberts goes to the backhand but Gustavsson makes a big save and now a delayed penalty to Sweden . . .
	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.
	30:50	Cyril Ohen sent in on a shorthanded breakaway but he fires high!
	30:09	Swedes all over the Swiss and now they're going to the power play, as Yannich Lerch goes off for tripping.
	28:47	Rising wrister from Lindstrom, Wuthrich just gets a piece of it to keep it from going right under the crossbar.
	27:10	Alexander Nylander sneaks in from the point and fires a wrister, big pad save Wuthrich. Nylander is so dangerous.
	25:53	Off-setting penalties are coming and the teams will play 4-on-4 for the next two minutes.
25:43.
	25:43	Weissbach tries to go five-hole but Phillip Wuthrich makes a stick save. No goal.
	25:43	Linus Weissbach again, this time on a breakaway he's tripped from behind by Axel Andersson. penalty shot for Sweden's Weissbach!
24:56. William FALLSTROM - 2:1
	24:56	Goal for Team Sweden! Turnover in the neutral zone, Deutsch capitalizes and springs Weissbach and Fallstrom away 2-on-1. Weissbach finds WILLIAM FALLSTROM and Wuthrich has no chance on his one-timer. Assists: Linus Weissbach, David Deutsch.
	19:41	Switzerland's Marco Miranda called for high-sticking. Power play Sweden, 1/2 today.
16:52. Alexander NYLANDER - 1:1
	16:52	Goal for Team Sweden! They move it around on the PP and this time it goes. ALEXANDER NYLANDER cuts into the middle from the boards and fires a wrister that beats Wuthrich far side. Power-play goal. Assists: Erik Brannstrom, Jesper Bokvist.
	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.
10:35.
	10:35	Swedish pressure continues. Nylander the slapper, kicked out, then the rebound fired high.
	09:30	Lindstrom feeds Andersson in front for the one-timer, big save Wuthrich. Swedish PP continues.
	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.
05:59. Nico HISCHIER - 0:1
	05:59	Goal for Team Switzerland! The Swiss cash in on the power play. Stadler from the point passed to NICO HISCHIER in the high slot, whose low wrister found its way through traffic. Power-play goal. Assist: Livio Stadler.
