Hockey Canada didn't have the horses in Beijing.
In a contest void of meaningful offence, Sweden outlasted Canada in the quarterfinals at the 2022 Winter Olympics, winning 2-0 to advance to the medal round of the event. Former NHL forward Lucas Wallmark scored the decisive goal of the contest on a deflected shot near the midway mark of the third period before Sweden added an empty netter to ice it.
Matt Tomkins was solid in the Canadian net, making 24 saves, but could not match a perfect outing for surprise Swedish netminder Lars Johansson.
Here are the important details from the loss.
