Match
The first period between the two teams was goalless, with Canada managing to kill off two penalties.[1] Sweden opened the scoring with Victor Hedman's short-handed goal shortly before the end of the second period. Canada failed to capitalize from Nicklas Bäckström's penalty for slashing[2] and lost possession. Hedman then sent a backhanded shot past several players towards the Canadian goal, which managed to slide under Calvin Pickard.[3] Canada responded two minutes into the third period by converting a power play. Elias Lindholm was caught high-sticking and the resulting play allowed Ryan O'Reilly to slot in Mitchell Marner's rebounded shot.[4]
The game remained tied after overtime, meaning the game was decided via a five-round shootout. While William Nylander missed the opening penalty shot, Bäckström and Oliver Ekman-Larsson both scored their shots for Sweden. Canada failed to register a goal, with Henrik Lundqvist preventing four attempted penalty shots from converting. The win enabled Sweden to claim their 10th championship title.[4] Nylander was named tournament Most Valuable Player, with seven goals and seven assists in ten games.[5]
