Today the Channel One Cup in Moscow started and Tre Kronor started the tournament with a match against Russia.
It was a goal-poor event.
In both the first and the second period, the goals were not scored.
It took until the third period.
And it was Russia that did it.
Vyacheslav Vojnov put 1-0 to the Russian team after eight minutes played in the final period, which was also the final result.
For Sweden, matches against Canada and the Czech Republic remain in this last tournament before the Olympics.
Sweden won the Karjala Tournament earlier in the autumn.
The points recorded there mean that Tre Kronor leads the Euro Hockey Tour table, which also includes the results from the Channel One Cup.
