After dealing with a bit of adversity against the host Czech Republic, blowing a two goal lead, Team Canada will face off against one of the better teams in the tournament in Sweden.
Led by NHL rookie Filip Forsberg with four goals in three games, Sweden is second in Group A, behind Canada due to needing overtime and a shootout to defeat the Czechs. On defense, the Swedes are led by Oliver Ekman-Larsson, who is following up a great season for Arizona with a great performance at the World Hockey Championships, notching five points already in just three games.
