from Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press,
A pair of Detroit Red Wings forwards helped Sweden to another victory at the Ice Hockey World Championship, while Canada lost for a second straight day.
Lucas Raymond had a goal and an assist and Jonatan Berggren had an assist Monday in Sweden's 4-1 victory over Scandinavian rival Denmark at Nokia Arena in Tampere, Finland.
In World Championship action at Riga Arena in Riga, Latvia, Norway beat Canada 3-2 in a shootout. Canada was handed its first loss of the tournament on Saturday, falling 3-2 to Switzerland. The Wings' only player on team Canada, forward Joe Veleno, was handed a five-game suspension Sunday for violating rule 49 (kicking) during Saturday's game and will miss the rest of the tournament.
Canada is in third place in the Group B standings with 12 points. The Canadians wrap up the preliminary round Tuesday with a game against Czechia, which is in second place thanks partly to Red Wings forward Dominik Kubalik, who has a tournament-best eight goals among 12 points.
The Swedes are in second place in Group A, one point behind the U.S. because one of Sweden's victories came in a shootout. The Swedes and Americans meet Tuesday in Tampere to settle first place heading into the quarterfinals.
from Bob Duff of Detroit Hockey Now,
USA/Sweden starts at 9am on the NHL Network and TSN.
I would post this, but there are graphs, charts, etc.
Lucas needs to go to acting class.
I do know Paul, that looked like it really hurt.
Mazur with the primary assist on the OT goal.
Tough day for Raymond, took a stick to his mouth on a follow through, lost a chicklet.
That's old school toughness there
