COLOGNE, Germany - Telling himself to stay calm, Henrik Lundqvist stopped all three shots he faced in the shootout and Sweden dethroned two-time defending champion Canada to win the world hockey championship 2-1 on Sunday night. Sweden goaltender Henrik Lundqvist stopped three penalties and Ryan O'Reilly struck the post for Canada, as Nicklas Backstrom and Oliver Ekman-Larsson scored shootout goals for the Swedes to win their first title since 2013. Hedman got Sweden on the scoreboard with Nicklas Backstrom serving his second penalty of the game. Lundqvist and Canadian counterpart Calvin Pickard, who saved tournament MVP William Nylander's first shootout attempt for Sweden, were outstanding in a game in which the Canadians narrowly outshot their opponents 43-42.

With 43 seconds to go in the second, Nicklas Backstrom took a slashing penalty putting Canada on its second power play. It took only 10 seconds for Canada to capitalize on the man advantage levelling the game 1-1, with O’Reilly popping in the rebound created by a Mitch Marner shot from the point. Nate MacKinnon missed a good chance to clinch the win for Canada on a power play before overtime, when both goaltenders maintained their exceptional form. Earlier, Russia survived a late fightback by Finland as Nikita Kucherov sealed their 5-3 win to claim bronze.
