Filip Gustavsson let in two early goals in the thriller against Canada, 3–4, in the night leading up to Thursday, but then performed magnificently.
He gets new confidence when Sweden faces arch-rival Finland in Montreal.
Yes, "Gus" continues, confirms Swedish national team captain Sam Hallam at a press conference.
Tre Kronor trained with the same lineups that played against Canada. But Hallam did not want to confirm that it will be the lineup against Finland.
Everyone is healthy and ready to go. You'll see tomorrow what the lineups will be, he says.
Finland changes goalkeeper after the big loss against the USA. Kevin Lankkinen, Vancouver, replaces Juuse Saros.
We have to do something. Juuse did well for 40 minutes, just like the whole team, but Kevin has been strong lately in Vancouver, says the new Finnish national team captain Antti Pennanen.
The match between Sweden and Finland starts at 19:00 on Saturday evening Swedish time.
The rivalry match is a must-win for both teams to have a chance to reach a final spot next week in Boston.
After the first round, the USA leads the table with 3 points, Canada has 2, Sweden 1, and Finland 0 points.
