Linus Sjodin provided an insurance goal with less than four minutes remaining in the final period after a bouncing pass found its way onto his stick. This was his first point of the tournament. The teams traded goals in the second period, with Isak Rosen scoring one with 4:41 left in the frame for Sweden. Michal Gut scored a power-play goal for the Czech Republic to tie things up in the second.
Fabian Lysell opened the scoring in the first, assisted by Helge Grans and Ake Stakkestad. This is the second bronze medal for Sweden in the last three tournaments, as they eliminated Finland in the bronze medal match in 2020. More to come.
