Lundqvist back to form in 2-0 win as Sweden tops Finland at World Cup of Hockey
TORONTO — The old Henrik Lundqvist was back in net for Sweden.
The 34-year-old goaltender sprinkled in some highlight-reel saves while stopping 36 Finnish shots in Sweden’s 2-0 win at the World Cup of Hockey.
“We were confident with him coming in today, even after Jacob (Markstrom) played such a good game like he did (on Sunday),” said Swedish captain Henrik Sedin. “Being around Henrik for a few weeks now, we knew he was going to come in and have a great game.”
Anton Stralman and Loui Eriksson provided the offence for the Swedes (2-0-0), who now have a firm grip on the top spot in Group B. Finland, who dropped to 0-2-0 with the loss, is in tough to advance to the semifinals.
