Player-of-the-game Johnny Gaudreau scored twice, J.T. Compher scored the winner, and Jimmy Howard stopped 39 shots as the Americans recorded their second win following their surprise loss to co-host Germany on Friday.

Gaudreau tied it again on a breakaway, but Victor Hedman gave Sweden a 3-2 first-period lead.
