Watch Slovakia vs Sweden Live Streaming"Watching him in Dallas all the time, he always seems to end up around the puck or the net somehow," Team Sweden coach Bengt-Ake Gustafsson said of Eriksson, who broke out to score 36 goals in his third NHL season and has 23 so far this season for the Stars. "He has good hands and good feet. He has been doing good, and together with Backstrom and Alfredsson they have really found it. They have good chemistry."
Henrik Lundqvist recorded shutouts in both starts he made during the preliminary round, and will now face a Slovakia team that dug itself an early hole in this tournament by losing to the Czech Republic but rebounded in grand fashion with a 2-1 shootout win over Group B winner Russia. This will be the second game in as many days for Slovakia, which had to expend its fair share of energy to dispatch of Norway, and the players recognize it will take a much greater effort if they hope to reach the semifinals.
"We just have to turn 360 degrees and play way better, because it is not going to be enough against Sweden," forward Marian Gaborik said.
