What led to Finland's 4-1 victory over Sweden?
The Stars trio of Rantanen, Roop Hintz, and captain Mikael Granlund reunited on the top line and delivered when it mattered most. Their line faced some bumps along the way, with both Hintz and Rantanen taking minor penalties. Sweden capitalized on Rantanen's to score their only goal, and there were some heavy hits exchanged, including one from Hintz that sidelined a Swedish player, but Granlund set up Rantanen perfectly late in the game to seal it. Coming off a tough 4-1 loss to Slovakia in their opener, Finland desperately needed this bounce back against their biggest foe. The win keeps them alive in the round robin, even though no one's out yet. The backbone was Finland's top defense pair, also stars teammates Miro Heiskanen and Isa Lindell, who logged massive ice time Lindell over.
