It wasn't the best of starts for the Swedes in Boston when the team visited Edmonton on New Year's Eve. Elias Lindholm was sent to the penalty box just over four minutes into the game for slashing. The 31-year-old would get his revenge, however.
Lindholm set up David Pastrnak to give Boston the lead three minutes later. Then the floodgates opened for the Swedish players.
There were a total of six Swedish points in the game. Both Elias Lindholm and Hampus Lindholm had a goal and an assist, and Viktor Arvidsson had two assists in the game, which Boston won 6–2.
Whether any of them will make the Swedish Olympic squad remains to be seen. National team captain Sam Hallam will present the squad on Friday.
