In a three-on-three game, the Czech Republic came in three-on-one and Lukas Klok, formerly of Röge, scored the decisive goal after a free play at the left post.
- As usual, the Czechs counter and get their positions, says Skellefteå's Petter Granberg.
In the final minutes, Sweden pressed for a winning goal.
Jacob de la Rose, Fribourg-Gottéron, took a hard Czech stick right across the face and fell to the ice bleeding.
The umpires did not intervene, the third high Czech club they missed, and instead the Czech Republic got a conversion position.
Laboriously, de la Rose got up and went to change.
There were upset feelings in the Swedish booth before the extra time.
Wallmark equalized at the start of the third
At the beginning of the third period, Sweden equalized at 1-1.
The puck played to Lucas Wallmark, who plays in the Swiss league for Zurich team ZSC Lions, who slid forward and flicked the puck high behind Czech goalkeeper Ales Stezka.
It was a tentative Swedish first period.
The Czech Republic took the lead at the end of the first period when Jan Kovar headed in the rebound of Dominik Lakato's shot for 1-0.
Lasse Johansson saved with the leg guard, but the puck landed perfectly for Kovar, who took advantage of the power play situation.
Tonight, Switzerland and Finland met in Zurich.
The remaining matches during the weekend will be played in Malmö.
