On Sunday, Sweden secured a bronze medal in the ice hockey world championship with a thrilling 4-2 victory over Canada. The match was full of excitement as both teams had impressive runs throughout the tournament, winning their groups unbeaten. However, they suffered unexpected defeats in the semifinals – Canada falling to Switzerland in a shootout and Sweden losing to the Czech Republic.
In this match, Carl Grundstrom stood out as the star of the game, scoring twice including the winning goal in the final period. Erik Karlsson and Marcus Johansson also found the back of the net for Sweden, with goaltender Filip Gustavsson making 20 saves.
