The Northerners used all six reinforcements from the NHL in the match, and one of them, Raymond, opened the scoring in the sixth minute when he used the first power play of the match after 27 seconds.
After another Swiss foul, Silfverberg could have added a second goal, but he did not aim accurately at the end. The visitors could have equalized in the 15th minute, but goalkeeper Johansson dealt with Richard’s attempt.
The Swedes had several chances to add a second goal, but failed as did Senteler at the other end from a solo run at the start of the third period or Ambühl later on.
The next goal was scored only in the 53rd minute by Raymond, who once again gained a numerical advantage. Nylander closed the score on the power play. The Swedes defeated the Swiss in the fourth Euro Hockey Tour tournament of the season.
