The Finnish men's ice hockey team celebrated their first victory in the Olympic tournament on Friday, defeating Sweden with a score of 4-1. The game opened with a goal by Nikolai Matinpalo in the eighth minute, followed by a second goal from Anton Lundell in the 16th minute, establishing a firm lead for Finland. Despite a comeback effort from Sweden in the second period with a power-play goal from Rasmus Dahlin, Finland managed to maintain control of the match. Joel Armia restored a two-goal lead for Finland shortly thereafter, and Miko Rantanen sealed the win by scoring into an empty net as Sweden pushed for a last-minute goal, sending six players onto the ice in a desperate attempt.
