    19:08 Maxime Comtois (CAN) - 3:1
     
    19:08
    Goal for Team Canada!
    Unbelievable! Another neutral-zone turnover, another shorthanded breakaway for MAXIME COMTOIS and another goal, this one on a backhand deke. The goal came with Canada 2-men short.
    Unassisted.
     
    18:57
    Penalty for Canada (Phillips – 2 min., cross-checking).
     
    18:23

    Canadian team not pleased with the call. Coach McFarland had some words for the referee and Rasmussen banged his stick against the glass in the box.
    18:05 Maxime Comtois (CAN) - 2:1
     
    18:05
    Goal for Team Canada!

    A turnover in the neutral zone leads to a shorthanded breakaway for MAXIME COMTOIS and he makes no mistake, beating Eriksson low. Shorthanded goal.
    Unassisted.
    16:35 Erik Brännström (SWE) - 1:1
     
    16:35
    Goal for Team Sweden!
    ERIK BRANNSTROM's one-time slapper from the point appears to change direction and beat DiPietro. May have been tipped but it's his goal for now. That goal was on a Swedish 2-man advantage and they'll continue 5-on-4 for 1:37.
    Assist: Fabian Zetterlund.
     
    16:12
    Penalty for Canada (McLeod – 2 min., tripping).

    Penalty in the neutral zone, Swedes gave the puck away immediately for a longer 5-on-3. It'll be :37.
     
    14:49
    Penalty for Canada (Smart – 2 min., tripping).
     
    07:11
    Penalty for Canada (McLeod – 2 min., cross-checking).
    04:35 Shane Bowers (CAN) - 1:0
     
    04:35
    Goal for Team Canada!
    As both penalties were expiring Canada broke into the Swedish zone. Eriksson stopped Roberts's shot but SHANE BOWERS had a wide-open net to put the puck into. It was scored 1 second after the Swedish penalty ended so it is an even-strength goal.
    Assist: Elijah Roberts.
     
    02:34
    Penalty for Sweden (Walfridsson – 2 min., interference).

    Interference on the faceoff, teams will skate 4 on 4.
     
    02:29
    Penalty for Canada (Mattheos – 2 min., tripping).
