Canada beats plucky Sweden 3-2 in quarterfinals at women's world hockey championship

Share

Sarah Nurse scored her second goal of the game at 4:26 of overtime as Canada picked up a nervy 3-2 victory over feisty Sweden on Thursday to advance to the semifinals at the women's world hockey championship.

Blayre Turnbull had the other goal for Canada.

Emerance Maschmeyer registered the victory in goal with 12 saves after No. 1 option Ann-Renee Desbiens made 26 saves in Monday's 4-3 shootout victory over the United States to secure top spot in Group A.

Nurse took a pass from Sarah Fillier in 3-on-3 OT before ripping a shot upstairs on Emma Soderberg, who was heroic in an extra period where her teammates barely touched the puck.

Canada improved to 11-0 all-time at the worlds against Sweden, but it was far from easy.

Lina Ljungblom and Hilda Svensson replied for the Swedes. Soderberg -- the only reason the score was close -- took the loss despite a 51-save effort.
