MILAN (AP) — Finland revitalized its Olympic campaign by defeating Sweden 4-1, with Joel Armia scoring a shorthanded goal, 20 years after their gold-medal encounter in Turin. After a loss to Slovakia in their opener, Finland’s victory leaves the quarterfinals spot open as the teams clashed fiercely, highlighted by tensions at the end of the second period. Finland scored twice early, and despite Sweden’s Rasmus Dahlin narrowing the gap, they sealed the win with an empty-net goal from Mikko Rantanen. The game showcased strong Finnish play, particularly on penalty kills and board work.
