Good resilience, worst start imaginable, but I think we battled back. Gave them a good game, Pettersson told the media. I think we could have won it too in overtime, but yeah, [that's] how it goes. Yeah, we were talking about it like, keep going, keeping in place. It's going to come. And it did (in third). So yeah, it's good. Yeah, they come out flying to get a power play score right away. So it's a tough start, Pettersson said about Canada's control in the game. Then they kept going. I think at the end of the first, we started to get going. Started getting more rhythm and put the puck in better places for us to get it back, etcetera, etcetera. So start creating some offenses, some but yeah. The lead was taken to 2-0 in favor of Canada in the first period when Brad Marchand added to it. Sweden got on the scorebook in the second period when Jonas Brodin scored, yet Mark Stone restored Canada's two-goal lead a short time afterward. <h3>Despite the loss, Pettersson said Sweden's goalie was unbelievable</h3> Sweden stormed back in the third period. Adrian Kempe got Sweden on the scorebook early, and Joel Eriksson Ek tied it up to make it 3-3. Pettersson praised goalie Filip Gustavsson, saying his play in keeping Sweden in it was unbelievable. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/Canucks/status/1889899519267295386'> </a></blockquote></div> Canada controlled a great amount of play in the first two periods and ended up outshooting Sweden 28-26 and winning 57.4% of faceoffs. Felt great. I wanted to go out there all the time. We're close to scoring, and then later they score. It's how it goes, Pettersson said. Pettersson and the Swedes will get another crack it on Saturday when they face Finland as they attempt to secure their first victory of the tournament.
