Sweden Hoping to Respond After Czech Republic Defeat
Sweden have no room for mistakes anymore after securing just three points from the opening three rounds at the World Championship 2026.
They started the tournament with a difficult clash against one of the main title contenders, losing 5-3 to Canada. The Swedes scored all three goals in the second period to level the game but could not hold on in the final frame. Jack Berglund recorded two assists.
Sweden responded with a dominant performance in the second round, crushing Denmark 6-2 while controlling the game from start to finish. Lucas Raymond was the standout performer with one goal and two assists.
The Swedes were tagged as favorites against the Czech Republic on Monday as well, but ended up losing the clash 4-3, needing 45 minutes to score their first goal.
Slovenia Looking to Avoid Heavy Defeat
Slovenia’s chances of battling for the quarterfinals in Group B are slim, but they made a big step toward avoiding relegation to Division I, currently sitting in 6th place with three points after three rounds.
The Dragons opened the 2026 Ice Hockey World Championship with a major upset, defeating the Czech Republic 3-2 in overtime. Marcel Mahkovec scored the winner in the 62nd minute to complete the surprise result. They couldn’t repeat that performance against Norway though, losing 4-0 while registering just 11 shots on target.
They were huge underdogs yesterday against Slovakia and found an equalizer with 30 seconds left on the clock through Rok Ticar, forcing overtime, but ultimately lost 5-4 on penalties.
Verdict
Sweden are likely to let their frustrations out against Slovenia after losing two big derbies against Canada and the Czech Republic, despite looking solid in both games. A one-sided match is expected in Fribourg.
