Sweden finally get one over on the Canadians in their third and most important meeting of the competition in a devastating display.
Sebastian Kraupp got things rolling; blocking nicely for his skip to draw around and score two. Then after it was tied up in the second end thanks to good draw play from the Canadian skip, the Swedes once again moved ahead through good team strategy and Niklas Edin's draw play.
Edin continued to look unstoppable as Sweden stole a point in back-to-back ends before the halftime break. Canada were unable to talk up a good plan to stop the bleeding and Fredrik Lindberg then greatly outmatched Canada's second that ended up with Sweden stealing another three points in two ends.
Johnathan Mead did find a way through in the eighth, cutting the deficit down to five, but Canada could not find a way to steal anything of their own as Sweden rounded things off with yet another Niklas Edin draw shot to increase the lead, accept the handshake, and receive their Bronze medals.
