In a much-anticipated game that came down to a shootout, Sweden earned a 3-2 victory over Switzerland in Sunday’s World Championship finals. There was great joy that came with this victory. Sweden, with two Anaheim Ducks on the roster, had won another gold medal.
Switzerland brought home the silver medal and the United States beat Canada for the bronze.
This year, the Anaheim Ducks had the opportunity to send two of our favorite Swedes to the tournament. Hampus Lindholm and Rickard Rakell may not have been able to raise the Stanley Cup, but they had a big hand in leading Team Sweden to victory.
