• Final. Sweden wins, 2-1, to close out preliminary play.

• Sweden kills the Erik Karlsson penalty. 

• USA to the power play. Erik Karlsson sits for two for high-sticking with 12:01 left. He yelled, "Are you kidding me?" at the official on his way to the box. On brand.

• A big hit from Jack Eichel sends Leo Carlsson's helmet flying.

• Definitely getting more physical this period.

• USA kills the penalty and Adam Fox is a free man.

• USA to the PK with 18:49 left. Adam Fox to the box for cross-checking.

• Third period is underway.

• End of the second. Sweden leads 2-1. USA has a 21-17 edge in shots.

• USA to the power play with 9:18 left in the second. Filip Forsberg sits for two.

• Brady Tkachuk won't return. 

• Back to full strength.

• USA to the PK with 16 minutes left in the second. Noah Hanifin called for hooking.

• Vince Trocheck is back. Brady Tkachuk is not. Down to 16 skaters.

• Vince Trocheck also left down the tunnel late that period. If he's out and Brady Tkachuk also doesn't come back, they're down to nine forwards. They only started with 11.

• End of the first, Sweden leads 2-1. Sweden goals from Gustav Nyquist and Jesper Bratt, USA goal from Chris Kreider. USA has an 11-8 lead in shots.

• GOAL: Sweden takes the lead. Jesper Bratt. The Swedes are only half celebrating these goals. Sweden 2, USA 1

• Brady Tkachuk is back.

• GOAL: Sweden ties it. Jake Oettinger made the initial save but the puck trickles through, Gustav Nyquist knocks it in. USA 1, Sweden 1

• Still no sign of Brady Tkachuk,

• Back to full strength.

• Sweden kills the penalty then gets a power play of their own with 9:57 left. Matt Boldy sits for two for interference.

• Team USA gets a power play with 12:03 left in the first. Elias Lindholm for delay of game.

• Brady Tkachuk goes down the tunnel. Crashed into the net shortly before.

• Brady Tkachuk with back-to-back big hits on Leo Carlsson and Mattias Ekholm.

• GOAL: Chris Kreider, fresh off being a healthy scratch, opens the scoring 35 seconds in by banging in the rebound off a Jack Eichel shot. USA 1, Sweden 0

• We are underway here. Last game of the preliminaries.

• Team USA's lines and pairings:

Brady Tkachuk - Jack Eichel - Chris Kreider
Jake Guentzel - J.T. Miller - Jack Hughes
Brock Nelson - Dylan Larkin - Matt Boldy
Vince Trocheck - Kyle Connor

Zach Werenski - Jake Sanderson
Noah Hanifin - Adam Fox
Jaccob Slavin - Brock Faber

• Here's Sweden's lineup, going with 11 forwards/seven defensemen due to illness:

Jesper Bratt - Leo Carlsson - William Nylander
Adrian Kempe - Joel Eriksson-Ek - Lucas Raymond
Filip Forsberg - Elias Lindholm - Elias Pettersson
Gustav Nyquist - Viktor Arvidsson

Victor Hedman - Jonas Brodin
Gustav Forsling - Erik Karlsson
Rasmus Dahlin - Rasmus Andersson
Mattias Ekholm

• USA is holding out Matthew Tkachuk and Auston Matthews, who are both a little banged up. Just no sense in playing them in a meaningless game. They're dressing 11 forwards/six defenseman and just playing a skater short.

• With this game being meaningless, and no Rickard Rakell for the Swedes, I'd say the most interesting storyline here will be J.T. Miller vs. Elias Pettersson.

• No Rickard Rakell or Mika Zibanejad for Sweden due to illness. Womp womp.

• Team USA takes the ice for warmups to "U-S-A!" chants. A lot of Swedish fans in the crowd too. I'd imagine a decent amount are family members of players here.

• Change of plans: Linus Ullmark is sick. Samuel Ersson gets the late start.

• A reminder: This is meaningless. USA already clinched a spot in the Final, and Canada's win earlier eliminates Sweden. I'd imagine both teams want to go out of the preliminary round on a high, though.
