Sweden beats Canada to win bronze at 2024 IIHF Men’s World Hockey Championship

Sweden has won bronze at the 2024 IIHF Men’s World Hockey Championship after beating Canada 4-2 on Sunday afternoon in Czechia.

It’s Sweden’s first medal since winning consecutive golds in 2017 and 2018. Canada’s run of consecutive medals ends at four years, losing in the bronze game for the first time since 2018.The Swedes scored the lone goal of the first period at 12:05. Carl Grundstrom would beat Jordan Binnington down low after Rasmus Dahlin got the puck to him before sending it over to Linus Johansson. Johansson then got the puck back to Grundstrom to finish off the nice passing work.

But Canada answered back early in the second. At 22:41, Jamie Oleksiak skated around the Swedish net and found Dylan Cozens in front, with the Buffalo Sabres forward firing it past Filip Gustavsson for the 1-1 goal. The second period saw the two teams trade goals. Canada took a 2-1 lead thanks to Pierre-Luc Dubois’ goal at 44:18, giving his team some hope. But three straight goals – one from Erik Karlsson, another from Grundstrom and an empty-netter from Marcus Johansson – allowed Sweden to finish the third-period comeback and take home bronze.#38 Brandon Hagel, RW :

No matter the game, nobody outworked Hagel. He just did so to generate energy and force turnovers, and he helped make the second Canadian goal happen after setting up Dubois’ goal.Cozens’ ninth goal of the tournament was huge for Canada, even if it didn’t matter in the end. He was Canada’s best player all tournament long and a serious threat to make the tournament all-star team after leading the tournament in the goal department. Buffalo fans, I hope he can replicate that for you next year.
