    Players of the game

    SWE – Robin Sjoren
    FIN – Sasu Hovi

    The Finnish national anthem is now being played.
     
    48:00
    Game over.
     
    47:54
    Miettinen missed a long shot at the empty net, but the Swedes getting 2 penalties on the play, slashing against Svensson and then, after the whistle, unsportsmanlike conduct against Axelsson. It's done.
     
    47:12
    Timeout Finland. They have the power play now, but want to play it smart. It will be 4-on-4 on the floor with the Swedish goalie out.
     
    47:12
    Now there is a Swedish penalty, Henrik Hoglund for roughing. Lots of emotion down on the floor right now as players exchange words with each other. No love lost between Sweden and Finland.
     
    47:01
    A Finnish player was knocked down there, looked like maybe a high stick but play continued as he struggled to the bench. Finally Hovi makes the save to stop play, and the Finnish bench is upset there was no call. Faceoff in the Finnish zone.
     
    46:30
    Axelsson with a blast, blocked.
     
    46:00
    Slapper from the point by Nilsson, pad save Hovi, rebound wide.
     
    45:45
    Swedes try to crash the Finnish net, play stopped with a player in the crease. Faceoff outside.
     
    45:30
    Ollikainen skates to the bench for a 5th attacker with the puck still in the Swedish zone.
     
    45:16
    Timeout Sweden. Faceoff in their end with 2:44 on the clock.
     
    45:16
    No goal! Partanen skated in slowly, Ollikainen forced the backhand wide. Sweden not done yet.
     
    45:16
    And now a penalty shot coming to Petri Partanen as he was tripped on a breakaway. This is huge right here now.
     
    44:27
    Sami Markkanen with a golden chance to restore Finland's 3-goal lead but Andreas Ollikainen made a huge blocker save. Every save he makes now it huge.
     
    44:00
    Swedes buzzing in the Finnish zone, Finnish defence forcing the shots long.
     
    42:41
    Goal for Team Sweden!
    The power play had just ended, and the Swedes entered the zone. ROBIN SJOREN fired a wrister through traffic that looked like it changed direction just in front of Hovi. The Swedes are back in it.
    Assist: Johan Erkgards.
     
    41:35
    Shot by Nilsson hits the side of the net, Axelsson's drive is stopped by Hovi and the Finns clear it.
     
    40:47
    The Swedes were threatening and the Finnish net is knocked off. The referee is calling goaltender Sasu Hovi for delaying the game, so the Swedes with a big power play coming up. They certainly have to score if they want to get back into this.
     
    39:51
    Another chance for the Swedes and another save by Hovi, who freezes it.
