Timothy Liljegren and Joseph Woll face up in the first semifinal of the 2018 World Junior Championships.
Sweden starts out spinning in circles in their own end as the Swedes, with last change, try to match depth to the USA’s top guys.
Sweden is struggling to get out of their zone in a way that gets them anywhere. One Liljegren pass ends up with two forwards crowded out in traffic, and the next try is an icing from Alex Nylander.
The aggressive US team is leaving Joseph Woll with nothing to do, but the Swedish goalie is not actually having to make saves, he’s just got a closer view of the action.
