ICE HOCKEY Swedes rally, defeat Canada

The U.S. team plays Sweden while the Canadians play the Finns today.
INNSBRUCK, Austria (AP) -- Sweden finally beat Canada at the world hockey championships, but the gold medal wasn't at stake this time.
Defenseman Kenny Jonsson scored the winning goal with 6:13 remaining in the third period Saturday night as Sweden, which lost the last two finals to Canada, rallied from a two-goal deficit to win 5-4 in a second-round matchup.
Samuel Pahlsson made a nice pass to Jonsson, who one-timed a shot past Martin Brodeur.
"I was lucky with the bounce when I got the puck ... then I shot," said Jonsson of the New York Islanders.
Mattias Norstrom, a Los Angeles Kings defenseman, also got an assist.
With its fourth straight win, Sweden moved atop Group F with six points and closed in on a quarterfinal berth. So did the Czech Republic, which beat Slovakia 5-1 in Group E at Vienna for its fourth straight win.
Canada, 3-0 in the first round, kept second place in Group F with four points -- one more than the United States and Finland. The top four teams in each group advance to the quarterfinals.
On deck
The Americans will play Sweden today, and Canada will face Finland.
"It's going to be fun playing the Americans," said Henrik Zetterberg, of the Detroit Red Wings. "I think the Americans played better for two periods against Canada the other night. It's going to be a tough game, but we'll be able to recharge."
Jonsson also set up two goals in the second period, Pahlsson's score that made it 3-2 and Mikael Samuelsson's tally that tied it.
Jonsson played in the tournament opener against Ukraine, and left the second game against Denmark in the first period when he became ill.
"I spent two days in bed," Jonsson said. "I was probably more rested than the others."
Pahlsson, Samuelsson and Zetterberg scored unanswered goals for the Swedes in the second period. Daniel Sedin also scored for Sweden late in the first.
Nash scores
Columbus Blue Jacket Rick Nash, the tournament's leading scorer with seven goals, tied it 4-4 for Canada early in the third before Jonsson put the Swedes ahead for good.
Shane Doan, Joe Thornton and Dany Heatley also scored for Canada.
Petr Sykora, Martin Straka, Tomas Kaberle, Ales Hemsky and Pavel Kubina scored for the Czechs in Vienna. It was the Czechs' seventh win in nine world championship games against its neighbor. Martin Strbak scored the only goal for Slovakia.
The Czechs lead Group E with six points, one ahead of Russia. Switzerland and Slovakia each have three points.
Jaromir Jagr, playing with a broken finger, had two assists for the Czechs.
Earlier, Latvia shut out Ukraine 3-0, and Belarus blanked Kazakhstan 2-0 in their second-round openers.
