Italy Stuns Sweden with Early Olympic Strike
Italy grabs the opener against medal-favorite Sweden in their home Olympic rink, sending the Milano crowd into a frenzy with a slick slot goal off a Swedish turnover. The hosts, packed with zero NHLers, hang tough against a barrage from guys like Landeskog and Forsling, even knotting it early in the second to keep the upset dream alive. Sweden's stars lean on their NHL pedigree to fight back, but Italy's grit exposes how razor-thin these Group B margins can get with Finland and Slovakia lurking.
