In Lucas Raymond's absence, it was another Frölundatalang that started the goalscoring victory in the Czech Republic.

Samuel Fagemo trailed 1-0 in the first period before Czech Republic's Matej Pekar acknowledged just over ten minutes into the second period. Just a minute later, Sweden took the lead again - now through Nils Höglander - and this time the Junior crowns never released the clock.

With 20 seconds left of the period, Jonatan Berggren made it 3-1. During the final 20 minutes of the match, Fagemo and Höglander, in everyday life in Rögle, determined the final result (5-1) with one more goal each.

Lucas Raymond is one of Sweden's hottest hockey talents, but has recently come back from a viral infection and because of that has been an unsafe card.

In Friday's match he was not included in the team lineup. Despite this, the 17-year-old said in an interview with TT earlier this week that he is not worried about his participation in the junior World Cup, which starts next week.

"I am doing well and have been training for a week," he said.

Nor should there be any danger with Skellefteå's Albin Eriksson, who felt hungry during the trip to the Czech Republic.

- Albin is much better today. But we do not want to chance so he will play on Sunday instead, says the league captain Tomas Montén to the site Hockeynews.

On Sunday, the United States waits in the last race before Sweden plays JVM premiere against Finland on another Christmas day.
