🇸🇪 Sweden 2-0 Canada 🇨🇦
Karjala Tournament
Hartwall Arena, Helsinki 🇫🇮
Friday, 10 November 2017

Ben Scrivens finished with 19 saves, but Canada’s National Men’s Team ran into a red-hot Swedish goaltender in a 2-0 loss Friday in its second of three games at the 2017 Karjala Cup.

The Canadians held a 35-21 advantage in shots on goal – including 18-3 in the third period – but could not get a puck past Magnus Hellberg as their record dropped to 1-1 in the round-robin tournament.

A back-and-forth first period failed to produce a goal despite five power plays, three to Canada. The power outage continued in the second with the Swedes going goalless on a five-minute man advantage after a charging major to Mason Raymond, but they broke through late in the period.

Sweden needed only four seconds of the power play to open the scoring; Pär Lindholm got his stick on a point shot from Patrik Hersley to beat Scrivens and put the Scandinavians ahead just past the 16-minute mark.

Lindholm converted on another five-on-four for the insurance goal at 11:53 of the third, one-timing a quick feed from Oscar Möller past Scrivens.

The Canadians had six power plays in the third period, including a five-on-three for 1:45 while it was still a one-goal game, but could not find a way past Hellberg.

Canada closes out its schedule Sunday, taking on host Finland.
