Canada vs Sweden Full Highlights 2026 World Junior Summer Showcase

It is day number three of the World Junior Summer Showcase in Windsor but for Team Canada it's night number one as the hopefuls trying to make an impression to play Boxing Day in Edmonton start the road at the WFCU Lawrence's shot tipped a couple of times rebound scores Jimmy Lombardi with a beauty opens the scoring for the Canadiens and there's Brady Martin just over six feet and 195 pounds but plays much bigger how about that steal to Lynn from Lombardi and Sorekwes with a save but that is quite a shift for Nashville first rounder Brady Martin Gale of Malhotra angled off into the corner stays with it finds a man in front what a pass and an equally competent save as Malhotra set up for a wonderful chance to Anderberg around Carl's center kicked in front some kind of stop by Malash who robbed Torkel Yennefer from in tight on their way to finishing just shy losing to Everett in the final front of the net Belchez can't believe he didn't score Rudolph stopped Martin off the bench Brady Martin hit a skate he'll retrieve it and here's Stokselius shorthanded with a good lateral cut and a feed for Krantz and that's another dynamite stave by Samuel Malash. The reason why this is a 1-0 lead for Canada and they're not trailing heading into the intermission. Now Jackson Smith snaps his stick into Yastrin he scores Milton Yastrin shorthanded with two seconds to go has tied the game and it's Martin good Canadian pressure via Lawrence he scores tying in Lawrence on the power play and Canada leads again finds Belchez right on target after Eric Nielsen got a piece on the way through Schmidt through the seam coots in front for Belchez Schmidt at a chance off the end boards and Sorkwitz came across in a hurry Schmidt wins a battle on the board Cameron Schmidt he'll let it go off the crossbar and out of play Linus Funk down low Eckberg tight turn scores went off the defenseman and in and Sweden for a second time has tied the game Gustafsson they want to tee it up for Hermansen the Canadians are well aware his Klingsell shot is blocked and a steal and maybe a breakaway Lafreniere in all alone went to the backhand Deacon headed roll off his stick as Ethan Sada just about ran Gustafsson right into the Canadian bench now he's got some room Sada hooked up enough to prevent a better shot stayed with it then it's Nesbitt from close range who had an opportunity is Eckberg away with East Wasniak Philip Eckberg who has a goal tonight and a terrific diving play Nielsen from in tight absolutely robbed by Malosh Jackson Smith from Calgary been watching him since he was 13 years of age at edge in front scores it's Ethan Belchez in Canada leads it again Hermansen in tight quarters look at the work of Brady Martin Hermansen he scores and just as I was alluding to he can flat out shoot it to tie the game time about to expire in the penalty to Stokselius the Calgary second rounder who has it now and maybe a chance for Sweden Stokselius to the middle scores Theo Stokselius in Sweden leads for the first time you're not gonna be quite in midseason form at this point but I think it's been a really good representation tipped in front by Mel Holtra on a pretty feed from Brady Martin and it's another quality stop by Isak Sorkis Rudolph his pass gobbled up Isaac Nielsen Stokselius and that will likely put it away his second of the period we will take a quick break and be back with a little bonus hockey as Sweden wins it in the regulation portion five to three worked out Stokselius who's had a major impact stop this time by Coots Carl's Belchez has Coots in front but the behind-the-back pass didn't work Coots has it now he scores Braden Coots with a rocket Brady Martin who I thought was really strong early in on Sorkis nice poke check now it's Hermansen who scored on a rocket in the third Hermansen what a sweet set of hands there now it's Philip Deyeu he'll swing wide back to the middle he goes that is some save after a great move by Deyeu excellent save by Sorkis now it's Jakob E. Swazniak and Malosh goes with him on the backhand deke attempt and he makes a good stop Coots who scored in the bonus overtime there's the shot but the result fifth round pick of Winnipeg in 2025 Klingsell he tries to shoot too and Malosh just kept that out let's see what Schmidt has in store for Sorkis quick snapper Stokselius two and the third way wide and scores here and that would put the shootout away Sweden win it five to three and Canada falls in its tournament opener they will take on Finland tomorrow in the same time frame while Sweden will have a tighter turnaround they'll have another date with the United States tomorrow afternoon at three Eastern
