Sweden Mounts HUGE Comeback, 7-5 Victory over Russia



Henrik Sedin gets his stick on the puck to score the go-ahead goal in last night's 7-5 Win over Russia

NHL.com --- Team Russia had Team Sweden right where they wanted them after taking a 4-2 lead into the third period, but Team Sweden was not going to go quietly. Gabriel Landeskog and Nicklas Hjalmarsson would score two goals by the midway point of the third period before Alex Ovechkin scored to give Russia the 5-4 Lead, but some poo discipline did the Russians in. After Forsberg tied the game again, Alex Emelin(Interference) and Dmitri Kulikov(Delay of Game) took back to back penalties in a matter of seconds and Team Sweden made the Russians pay with Henrik Sedin and Victor Hedman sealing the victory for the Swedes.
