It was in the third period that Caitlin Kraemer decided the match with her 3–2 goal.
The goal was caused by the Swedish goalkeeper Felicia Frank being stuck outside the goal.
A Canadian had tangled with the goalkeeper.
- It really feels very strange, the referee is actually standing there, says SVT's expert Maria Rooth about the goal.
The referees took an extra look and then approved the goal.
And after a couple of repeats it sounded different.
- I'm actually inclined to agree with (the judges) given that Law is being pushed.
In the first position, Law is pushed by a Swedish player,
unfortunately, says Rooth.
Got a dream start
Before that, Sweden had gotten off to a flying start against Canada.
Already after two minutes and 50 seconds, Hilda Svensson scored the lead goal.
Her first goal of the tournament.
- That is high class, said SVT's expert Maria Rooth.
But then Canada turned.
Emma Pais took advantage of Swedish puck care and was completely free against goalkeeper Felicia Frank to score 1-1.
And in the second period, 2-1 also came via Alexandra Law's stick.
But at the very end of the middle period, Sweden got the chance in the power play.
A chance that was managed in the best way.
Mira Jungåker, on weekdays in HV71, equalized with a fine shot.
But it wasn't enough all the way.
Canada eventually won 4–2 after a late goal by Kraemer in an empty net.
Sweden has now started the JVM with two straight losses.
Finland awaits on Wednesday.
