It was an even and close match in Hartwall Arena in Helsinki between Johan Garpenlöv's SHL national team and a Russian junior team.

It was goalless for a long time, but there was no shortage of goal chances.

Tre Kronor had a couple of good chances to score, including through Jonathan Dahlén in the first period and Max Friberg in the second.

Only when the clock stood at 55.13 did the deadlock crack.

The Skellefteå duo Jesper Frödén and Andreas Wingerli then played HV71's Anton Wedin to 1-0.

Above all, Wingerli stood for a nice performance with a pass behind the back to Wedin who could shave the puck.

But the joy was short-lived.
