The most memorable thing from the match was a goal that was missed.

Andreas Martinsen shot a puck after the long side and it changed direction on a referee's skate and into the empty net.

Behind the goal was Magnus Hellberg, who would catch the puck after the rim, and could be surprised to see the puck go to goal.

But there was never a reduction to 2-6 for Norway.

The referees are normally counted as "dead points", but in this case the contact was considered so decisive for the course of the match that the goal was rejected.

- It is not a goal because the puck bounced in goal via a match official, the speaker announced in both English and Finnish after the incident was videotaped.

Smiled happily at the event

Hockey people smiled happily at the event.

- I have never seen anything like it, says SVT Sports expert Jonas Andersson, an analysis that was shared by several.

Instead, Rasmus Asplund increased to 7-1

- Sweden only does exactly what is required to comfortably win this match, says Jonas Andersson.

Norway beat the puck 5-1 after a couple of attempts in front of Magnus Hellberg at the beginning of the third period.

Hellberg thus did not keep a clean sheet.

Toronto's William Nylander played his first match after the outing in the Stanley Cup and assisted to 1-0 and made himself 2-0.

He got another assist point from the match, a total of three from the evening.

Sweden will meet Latvia in the last group match on Tuesday.

On Thursday, the playoffs begin with quarterfinals.
