Jonas Brodin Shines as Sweden's Unexpected Goal Machine in World Championship

He is Tre Kronor's unexpected goal machine in the World Championship. Jonas Brodin has scored goals in every match so far. I have had a bit of luck with the rebounds. It's fun, just to continue, he says to Viaplay.

It's a humble review of himself he's offering, the 31-year-old Minnesota back.

The 2-0 goal he scored against Finland was a hard well-placed shot at the far post. The preparatory work by Lucas Raymond held at least equally high class.

I'm just trying to keep up in the attack. It was brutally well-played by Raymond, it was just a matter of pushing it through, says Brodin who throughout the entire NHL season accounted for a total of four goals.

Now he has already scored three World Championship goals – one in every match that Tre Kronor has played.

The 2-1 victory over Finland means that Sweden has a maximum of nine points.

We were much better today than before), says Brodin to Viaplay.

It got a bit nervous towards the end, but "Markan" (Jacob Markström) had some great saves.

Next up for Sweden is Latvia on Wednesday.
