Sweden is dismantling Switzerland

With a score of 7-0, the Tre Kronors team didn't give Switzerland, who had been so convincing so far, the slightest chance. The Swedes, on the other hand, succeeded in counterattacking after “shameful performances,” as local media had described their national team. Nils Lundkvist scored four points (one goal), Jesper Froden shone as a double goalscorer.

The Swedes had previously lost in Group A against Denmark (3:4) and Belarus (0:1), while the Swiss won against the Czech Republic (5:2) and Denmark (1:0). The “Ice Comrades” are still on target with six points, but they had expected much more before their worst defeat against the Swedes since 1990 (0:8). Slovakia leads the group after three matchdays with nine points ahead of Russia, Switzerland (both 6) and Denmark (5).

For the USA it was the second victory in the preliminary round after a 1:2 against the Finns and a clear 5:1 in the prestigious duel with Canada. Finland, which will face Italy on Thursday, redeemed itself for its embarrassment against Kazakhstan with a 5-2 win over Norway on Tuesday evening.
