Sweden squeeks by Russia 3-2. Canadians are not the only ones licking their wounds today as host Russia watched their gold medal dreams ended by Sebastian Collberg’s shootout marker.

Collberg was the only shooter to score.

Russia will play Canada for bronze, also on Saturday. The U.S. beat Canada 5-1 on Thursday in the day’s other semifinal.
