Pontus Holmberg’s whirlwind season has another highlight. Playing in his first game in the Olympics for Sweden, he set up their first goal of the tournament with a nice pass out from behind the net.
Holmberg had a good scoring chance of his own late in the first period, just after a powerplay expired. He was used on the second powerplay unit, and on the second line left wing. Strong work along the boards and quick power move taking it out to the net, almost surprised the goalie but lost the puck.
He was a bit of a beast on the cycle in this game.
