IIHF WJC Bronze and Gold Medal Game Recaps

The players: Team Sweden vs. Team USA and Team Finland vs. Team Russia in an action-filled pair of games that proved all teams had earned their placement in the tournament.

BRONZE MEDAL SCORING RECAP

Team Sweden took on Team USA in the bronze medal game on January 5th. In what should have been a relatively even game, Team Sweden uncharacteristically broke down defensively that resulted in a huge scoring gap that they couldn't recover from.

The first period started slow when Team USA opened the scoring halfway through the first frame. Another goal added to their lead by two, but Team Sweden put up a fight and tied the game 2-2 before the end of the period.
