Sweden took an early lead when Jesper Olofsson made it 1-0 on the power play. It was his third complete hit in three games.
— It’s great fun to score goals. But also nice to get an early puck. I want to show the best side of me and I’m happy with how it went, then we’ll see how far it goes, says the goalscorer after the first period in SVT.
In the middle period, Tre Kronor extended the lead. First, Emil Heineman made it 2–0 and immediately afterwards Oscar Fantenberg entered the scoresheet when he scored 3–0 in a match that ultimately ended with a 4–0 Swedish victory.
For Sam Hallam and Tre Kronor, it means securing the second victory in the Euro Hockey Tour. In November, Hallam began his time as national team captain by winning the Karjala tournament – and now he also secured victory in the Swiss Ice Hockey Games.
