William Nylander's Toronto lost for the second match in a row tonight against Florida. The score is 2–2 in matches. Nylander would be a dream name in the World Championship squad and the two matches will be played tonight to Thursday and tonight to Saturday.

The other quarterfinals have reached three matches in their series. There, teams can be eliminated as early as tonight to Thursday, Swedish time.

Hallam still feels no stress to report any of the three players who are on site in Stockholm to the World Championship squad. They are defender Gabriel Carlsson, Zug, and the forward duo Max Friberg, Frölunda, and Christoffer Ehn, Linköping.

So far, all three goalkeepers, six defenders, and twelve forwards are in the World Championship squad. Four outfield player positions are open.

I'm very comfortable with the players who are not reported. If we had gotten an injury or illness, one of them would have come in, says Hallam.

Now we're playing tonight and have a training day tomorrow. Then we'll see if we make any changes before the Wednesday match, he adds.

Sweden meets Finland tonight and then faces Latvia on Wednesday.
