Former NHLer Niklas Andersson scored in a shootout as the host team Sweden beat Team Canada 4-3 Tuesday in
the opener of the Sweden Games hockey tournament. Sweden scored on their first attempt in the sudden-death
shootout after Matthew Lombardi of the AHL's Saint John Flames missed for Canada. The game ended
immediately.
Canada received one point in the standings. Former Edmonton Oilers goalie Joaquin Gage, who now
plays for Djurgardens of the Swedish League, stopped 48 shots as Sweden outshot Canada 51-23.
Finland also needed a shootout to beat the Czech Republic 1-0 in the other game in Helsinki on Tuesday.
Russia, the only other team in the round-robin tournament, plays Canada on Wednesday.
