Canada wary of quarterfinal opponent Sweden at world women’s hockey championship
UTICA, N.Y. — Canada’s women intend to be on their toes against a quarterfinal opponent that took them to the brink of elimination in last year’s world hockey championship.
A Sarah Nurse overtime goal was required in Brampton, Ont., to beat Sweden 3-2 in that quarterfinal.
“We all remember that game last year and we’ve got something to prove,” Canadian forward Blayre Turnbull said Wednesday.
The Canadians and Swedes clash again in Thursday’s four-game slate at the Adirondack Bank Center.
