On Saturday night, the Leksand duo Cehlarik / Hrivik once again showed the way for Slovakia.

Cehlarik broke the deadlock and scored 1-0, on a pass from Hrivik, in the third period when Denmark was defeated 2-0.

Hrivik won the entire SHL points table during the season, which went with his 51 points (14 + 37) in 44 games.

Cehlarik also excelled with his 40 points (20 + 20) in 45 matches.

"A skilled team"

During the World Cup, the success has continued and Cehlarik tops the points league with a total of three goals and five assists.

Hrivik has been noted for two goals and four assists so far.

- Slovakia has a good and skilled team with some Swedish acquaintances who clearly lead most of their offensive strength.

I think we have a decent view of Hrivik and Cehlarik.

They have many more, but it is the two that stand out, says Tre Kronor hill Magnus Nygren to SVT Sport.

- Of course we will put extra powder on keeping track of them, but we have many in the team who have played against them during the season so I do not think it will be a problem.

"We have been super disappointed"

What do you say about Sweden's World Cup tournament so far?

- We have been super disappointed with our game in the beginning of the tournament.

It feels ruggedly unnecessary.

At the same time, we do not gain anything by dwelling on it now, it is only the next match that counts.

We understand just like everyone else that the first two matches would have ended in a different way, says Nygren and continues:

- It may be analyzed when you have time for it, but it is impossible to build some form of energy and feeling of winning right now by sitting and analyzing miserably bad efforts.

We will have time for that later.

Hopefully we have the strength, courage and strength to pull ourselves together and move on.

The only thing we can influence is our own efforts.

Slovakia currently tops the group with twelve points, while Tre Kronor is sixth with six points.
