Host nation Denmark lost 0-10 to powerhouse Canada on Monday. A day later, it was the Damkronorna’s turn to run over the Danes.
Sweden also won 10-0 in Herning.
“It’s a bit of a strange match. It’s mostly been played in their zone. We need to keep doing the basics, because we know there will be matches where it won’t be like this,” two-goal scorer Ebba Hedqvist told SVT after the second period.
It was well into the third period before Denmark managed a shot on blue-and-yellow goalkeeper Emma Söderberg. Sweden won the shots 63-4.
“It’s clear that it’s fun to play in the attacking zone, but these aren’t the matches we’re looking forward to,” Hedqvist said.
In addition to Hedqvist, Nicole Hall also scored twice against Denmark.
The women’s national team lost their World Cup opener against Canada 1-5, but have secured second place in Group B after 4-1 wins against Finland and a 10-0 win against Denmark.
The group stage ends on Wednesday against Japan. The quarter-finals are on Friday.
