Sweden won 4-2 in regulation at the Euro Hockey Tour, building an early lead and never letting the Czech Republic back level. The home side controlled the first two periods, establishing a two-goal cushion they would not surrender.
Sweden took the first period 1-0, then pushed the margin to 3-1 with a 2-1 second frame. The Czech Republic answered early in the third, but Sweden responded with a goal of their own in the final period to lock in the 4-2 result.
The decisive stretch was the second period, where Sweden outscored the visitors 2-1 to flip a one-goal game into a two-goal game. That margin held through a traded goal in the third, and regulation settled the contest without needing overtime.
