Three Kronor started the Four Nation game by losing against Canada by 3-4.
The Swedish who scored the most points in the match was young Detroit star Lucas Raymond.
– The step he has taken this year is immensely large, I think, says icon Henrik Zetterberg to the Sports Bible.
Canada got holes in the Swedish defense already after 56 seconds in the opening match in Four Nations. 0-1 became 0-2, then 1-2 and finally 1-3. Then Tre Kronor suddenly stood for a really nice pickup to 3-3. The blue -yellow got a point from the meeting, but let in a fourth puck in the extension.
Zetterberg praises Raymond
Lucas Raymond22, was the best of the Swedes with their two assists. He lay behind both Jonas Brodins 1-2 goals and Joel Eriksson Eks receipt. One who talked up the young man’s capacity for the four-nation tournament was the Three Kronor legend and the NHL icon Henrik Zetterberg44.

“Zäta” was part of the profile Three Kronor Legends squad that crushed NHL Alumni at newly renovated Avicii Arena last Friday. Before the show match, he met the overall press, including the Sports Bible that was in place. Then he commented on Lucas Raymond’s importance to the Detroit Red Wings.
– He is one that really spends all the time and all the power to be as good as possible. The step he has taken this year is incredibly large, I think. For the team here too now that they have sex or seven straight and are at the first Wild Card place now and have some chop, he tells the Sports Bible.
Zetterberg Relations with Detroit Red Wings
Henrik Zetterberg himself debuted for Detroit in October 2002 and scored 44 points in 79 matches during his rookie season. Lucas Raymond scored 57 points in 82 games. During his years at the club, the “Zäta” Stanley Cup won at one time. In recent years, however, the club has found it difficult to perform at the highest level. This season started very badly, but they have found a better shape lately.
– Last year it was immensely close to the last round there they would get to the playoffs. For a while during the season it looked pretty dark, but now they are there again and hopefully we can get some playoff hockey, he says.

Are you involved in any way in the club today?
– Not so much at all, more than that I am very close to those who work there. Many who were down in Ängelholm now and met them there. We saw the Sweden-USA match (Sweden’s U18 national team won against the USA by 7-2) down there on Wednesday. There were five pieces from Detroit there. You stay involved but I do not need to write any reports.
