Sweden got off to a dream start at the JVM with the victory against Russia.
One of the keys to victory was the junior crowns' game in numerical superiority.
Oskar Olausson, Emil Andrae and Alexander Holtz all became goal scorers in the game form.
- We're doing really well.
Nice that we got in a quick goal.
We have good shots from above and a technical Wille (Eklund) who finds passes.
We have many threats and do really well in powerplay, says goal scorer Oskar Olausson and continues:
- It is very important that it works.
In such even matches, this is where you can score goals.
Incredibly nice that we manage to do so many in powerplay today.
"Both plus and minus"
Despite the three goals, the national team captain Montén was not completely satisfied.
- We have not had that much time together so it was positive that we kept it simple.
There are some powerplay where we try to force play a little too much.
So there were both pluses and minuses with powerplay, says Tomas Montén.
