TORONTO -- The old Henrik Lundqvist was back in net for Sweden.The 34-year-old Lundqvist made 36 saves to help Sweden beat Finland 2-0 in the World Cup of Hockey on Tuesday.We were confident with him coming in today, even after Jacob (Markstrom) played such a good game like he did (on Sunday), Swedish captain Henrik Sedin said. Being around Henrik for a few weeks now, we knew he was going to come in and have a great game.Anton Stralman and Loui Eriksson scored as the Swedes (2-0-0) got a firm grip on the top spot in Group B. Finland (0-2-0) is facing long odds for advancing to the semifinals.Lundqvist, who missed Swedens first game of the tournament due to an illness, struggled in pre-tournament competition, posting a 4.49 goals-against average and a .778 save percentage in two appearances. The Rangers goaltender was pulled from last Wednesdays game against Team Europe after allowing five goals on 22 shots in a 6-2 loss.I felt pretty rusty out there the first period, not as aware as I wanted to be, but I got some really good help with some loose pucks and stuff like that, Lundqvist said. Second and third, I felt more comfortable, but it was fun. I really enjoyed being out there playing. Big game, important game, not being able to play the first, you never know where its going when youre not healthy.Tuukka Rask, starting in the Finnish goal over Pekka Rinne, stopped 27 shots.We played such a great game, started off well, created so many good scoring chances, but we didnt score, Finnish coach Lauri Marjamaki said. Of course the goalie Lundqvist was impressive. But so proud of my players and our team effort. It was great today. But it is not enough.Finlands Mikael Granlund had two excellent scoring chances just past the midway mark of the third, but Lundqvist got his right pad on the first shot and Granlund put his rebound off the post.The matchup got physical in the third when Finlands Sami Lepisto caught Swedens Mikael Backlund with a questionable high hit just inside Swedens blue line with a little over nine minutes to play. Lepisto was assessed a minor penalty for roughing, while Backlund received treatment on the Swedish bench.It was a shoulder hit to the head, or towards the nose, Sweden coach Rikard Gronborg said. I know he was bleeding a little bit (from) his nose.Sweden led 1-0 after two periods. Stralman, a defenseman for the Tampa Bay Lightning, put a backhand feed from Sedin past Rask at 9:57 of the middle period.Finlands Patrik Laine had a strong scoring opportunity in the final minute of the second, but Lundqvist was able to get his glove on Laines one-timer.Every single Finnish player had a shot on goal. Laine, a first-round pick by the Winnipeg Jets, led the way with five.We had many good scoring chances, but he was playing awesome in the net, Laine said.Sweden concludes the preliminary round on Wednesday against Team North America, and Finland meets Russia on Thursday.

Sebastian Vettel believes no argument against Halo could justify death and has criticised his fellow drivers for not presenting a united front on the issue ahead of Thursdays key vote.Formula Ones Strategy Group is voting on whether to implement the controversial cockpit safety device for 2017, which would be one the one of the most significant decisions in the history of F1. During Thursdays media session at Hockenheim, the drivers appeared to be divided on the issue, with Romain Grosjean saying he would vote against it if given the chance.However, Vettel appeared frustrated to hear fellow drivers speaking against the Halo, saying they recently voted overwhelmingly in support of the structure.I am a bit surprised because it sounded as if we were clear about what we want in the future, Vettel said in Thursdays FIA press conference. We had a vote amongst the drivers and I think 90, 95 percent voted for it so I dont know why all of a sudden it comes up the way it does. I think it is the wrong impression as the majority have said.We dont like the looks of it but I dont think there is anythingg that justifies death.dddddddddddd. Weve always learnt from what happened, incidents on track, and tried to improve. That will be the first time in human history that we have learned the lesson but we dont change. I think it is up to us that it does happen otherwise I think we would be quite stupid.In Budapest the FIA showed drivers a presentation which highlighted the fact they would be 17 percent more likely to have survived in previous incidents, which was enough to sway Lewis Hamiltons previous opposition. Though the teams have been given the initiative to vote on the issue, Vettel thinks the FIA should force it through regardless of the outcome.?Asked if he was frustrated the teams, and not the drivers, had the vote, he said: Well, I think ultimately the FIA can do what they want -- on safety grounds they can do what they want. I think the message is clear, the feedback from the drivers, except from the odd one or two here or there, has been fairly clear. ' ' '
