Switzerland looked to be continuing their good start to the Finnish leg of the Euro Hockey Tour when Sven Jung gave them a sixth-minute lead in Tampere, only for powerplay goals from Jacob de la Rose and Fredrik Olofsson to send Sweden into the first break 2-1 ahead.
The Swiss again had the better start in the second period when Sandro Schmid equalised, but four goals unanswered, courtesy of Linus Johansson, Erik Brannstrom, Isac Hedqvist and Jesper Froden put Tre Kronor firmly in control.
Simon Knak ensured Switzerland scored the opening goal of all three periods, but a second for Froden and a Simon Ryfors strike in the final minute wrapped up an impressive 8-3 win for Sweden, backing up their 3-1 win over Czech Republic on Thursday. Froden's five points was unmatched.
Finland have given themselves a chance of regaining the Finnish Ice Hockey Games title by beating Czech Republic 3-1 in front of their home crowd, but they will need a decent win against Sweden tomorrow if they are to overhaul their great rival.
They began this match as they meant to go on, with Arttu Ruotsalainen netting with less than two minutes on the clock. Leijonat would not get some breathing space until the seventh minute of period two when Leevi Tukiainen doubled their lead, before Sakari Manninen added a third.
The Czechs threatened a comeback with goals from Dominik Kubalik and Radim Zohorna, before Jere Innala's empty-netter in the dying seconds finally sealed the win for Finland. Innala was the top points scorer with three, as Czech Republic fall to consecutive losses in the tournament.
