Sweden took the lead after only 25 seconds after last night's drop in Red Deer in Canada.

It was the new top chain with Alexander Holtz, William Eklund and Oskar Olausson that got it right.

- I like our first chain.

They created a lot but did not score on everything and I liked what I saw.

Alex has played three JVMs and has lots of experience and he always has a smile on his face.

William and Alex have played together before and Olausson fits in well there with his skating and his shot, says national team captain Tomas Montén to hockeynews.se.

After going to the period break with 2-0 in the back, the junior crowns scored four goals in the second period, which they won 23-1 in shots, the team writes on Twitter.

In the last period, the match was punctured with Sweden's seventh goal.

The junior crowns won the total shooting statistics by 50-7 and the Swedish goal scorers were Oskar Olausson, Albert Sjöberg, Alexander Holtz, Daniel Torgersson, Victor Sjöholm, Theodor Niederbach, Fabian Lysell.

- We make a good match.

Powerplay was good in the beginning and Alex had a shot in the crossbar before he had to score the goal on his direct shot.

The second unit had good chances as well.

In the third, it is that we hold the puck a little too long, Tomas Montén concludes.

Now the Junior Crowns can start looking forward to the second day when the JVM premiere is played and Russia stands for the opposition.
