Josefson, Swedes win again at worlds


Jacob Josefson registered an assist in a second straight game as Sweden routed Austria, 6-1, at the 2015 IIHF World Championship in the Czech Republic on Sunday.

Josefson set up Oscar Klefbom for an even-strength marker that made it 2-0 Sweden late in the first period at O2 Arena in Prague. The Swedes jumped out to a 6-0 advantage before Austria broke up Anders Nilsson's shutout bid with under seven minutes to go in regulation.

Filip Forsberg notched a hat trick and added an assist for a four-point night.

Josefson has two helpers in as many games for Sweden, which opened the tournament with a shootout win over the host Czechs on Friday.
