LA Kings forward Adrian Kempe scored his first goal of the IIHF World Championships, playing on a line with his brother.
Brothers Mario and Adrian Kempe played on the same line in Team Sweden’s win against Switzerland on Tuesday. Adrian, 24, is nearly eight years younger than Mario, and the LA Kings forward noted in his exit interview that he was excited to play with his older brother in the IIHF World Championships.
Mario, 32, was a fifth-round draft choice of the Philadelphia Flyers in the 2007 NHL Draft and has spent most of his career playing in his native country Sweden and Russia.
