Mika Zibanejad and defensemen Rasmus Dahlin and Erik Karlsson scored for Sweden, which also has two points via a pair of overtime losses.

Rantanen’s power-play goal with 14 seconds left in the first period gave Finland a 2-1 lead. Despite misfiring on the shot, his fluttering one-timer from the bottom of the right circle eluded Gustavsson on the short side. Laine made the cross-ice pass to Rantanen.
