Three Kronor made a heroic match and picked up 1-3 to 3-3 in the third period in the Four National premiere against Canada. It gave a point into the account in front of 21,105 spectators in the Bell Center – but still a heavy loss.

Three Kronor fell into “sudden”
It got much better in the second period and the Swedes received a necessary reduction. Defensive hill Jonas Brodin put 2-1 with a high shot behind Canadian goalkeeper Jordan Binnington.
