The blueprint delivered Finland its second win against Sweden in five Olympic meetings involving NHL players, the first since 1998 in Nagano. "Identity game, I felt like," said Fi

Finland earned a big win against Sweden on Friday. How does that impact the pressure both teams feel at this early stage of the tournament?

Team Finland picked up a vital 4-1 win over Team Sweden today as Seattle Kraken winger Kaapo Kakko picked up his first points of the Olympics. Kakko and his linemates, Anton Lundell and Eetu Luostarinen, were among the standout performers for Finland against Slovakia in the Olympic opener, and they were once again the driving forces against Sweden.

The improvement that Sweden sensed is what the players spoke mostly about after the game and something they hope carries into their final Group B preliminary game, against undefeated Slovakia (2-0-0-0) on Saturday (6:10 a.m. ET; Peacock, CNBC, ICI TOU.TV, CBC Gem, SN, RDS).

After a disappointing opening contest, Finland bounced back to earn a victory over Sweden.

Blackhawks forward Teuvo Teravainen and his Finnish teammates pulled off a big win over their biggest rival, Team Sweden.
