Sweden defeated the Czech Republic 3-2 after extra time and secured their third consecutive JVM win.
But the young crowns are shaken by two clouds of anxiety.
Leo Carlsson was missing and Fabian Liesel had to step down.
Before the meeting with the Czech Republic, there was a huge victory over Austria and a convulsive victory over Germany.
Tonight’s opponent was hard to beat for Tegan Jr.
But Ludvig Jansson pulled ahead in extra time and made the winning goal to 3-2 after a sweet equaliser.
– Mika Zibanejad tied! says ViaPlay expert Jacob Josephson.
Goalkeeper Karl Lindbom, who has impressed tremendously in the tournament so far, once again put in an impressive performance and was responsible for several important saves.
swinging match
It was the Czech Republic who took the lead after a goalless first half. Three minutes into the second, David Jiricek went wide and pushed the puck from close range.
But just two minutes later, Sweden had a powerful moment.
First, Fabian Wagner scored well to equalize and a minute later Ludwig Jansson served 2-1.
With barely six minutes left in the third period, Jiri Techacek made it 2-2 after a typical attack.
And in the drama during overtime, it was Jansson who took the lead.
“he won’t come back”
However, Sweden has a few things to worry about. Leo Carlsson, who should have been there during the warm-up, was missing. Yesterday he felt a mess. Fabian Liesel was also forced to step down in the first period.
During the game, the Swedish Ice Hockey Federation announced that “Leo Karlsson and Fabian Liesel will not be returning to play today.”
