Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen played an excellent game on Friday as Finland defeated Sweden by a 4-1 score. The Finns evened up their record in the men’s tournament at 1-1-0. The Finns never trailed at any point in the game. They took a 2-0 lead to the first intermission and a 3-1 edge into the third period.
Nikolas Matipalo, Anton Lundell, Joel Armia (SHG) and Mikko Rantanen (ENG) scored for the Lions. Rasmus Dahlin (PPG) notched the lone goal for Tre Kronor. Meanwhile, Ristolainen had a plus-three day over 19:58 of ice time. He also blocked a couple of Sweden shot attempts and had one shot on goal of his own.
Later on Friday, Team Czechia takes on Team France. Dan Vladar, who backed up Lukas Dostal in Thursday’s loss to Canada, will dress again for the Czechs. Karel Vejmelka is the other goalie for Team Czechia.
