Sweden rides firm goaltending, withstands last-minute flurry from Alex Ovechkin to win World Cup opener


Jacob Markstrom has the Team Sweden net covered. RelatedIt didn’t matter that Sweden didn’t have Lundqvist, who struggled in two pre-tournament games. Fans of the international game will remember that Markstrom was named the top goaltender at the 2009 world junior championship in Ottawa. At 10:41, Gabriel Landeskog blasted a shot from Erik Karlsson past Bobrovsky during a Sweden power play. Russia’s next game is on Monday against Connor McDavid and Team North America, while Sweden faces rival Finland on Tuesday.
