Joel Eriksson Ek scored the overtime-winning goal to push Sweden to the Semi-Finals.

Wild rank as the 5th best Prospect Pool in the NHL.

Sweden had a 1-0 lead with just a hair under one minute left in the game but Finland's Hannes Bjorninen scored to tie the game late in the third period. 

After scoring the lone goal in the third period for Sweden, Rasmus Dahlin passed one to Victor Hedman who fired a shot in overtime that Wild forward Joel Eriksson Ek was able to tip past Finland's Emil Larmi to win the game for Sweden. 

Sweden's goaltender Filip Gustavsson stopped 19 out of the 20 shots he faced. Gustavsson now leads the tournament with a .934 save percentage and a 1.37 goals-against average. 

Sweden will now move on to the Semi-FInals where they will play against Czechia.
