Elias Salomonsson back after the match penalty
GOTHENBURG. The junior crowns continue with their goalkeeper rotation.
In the expected group final against Canada, Hugo Hävelid is back in the Swedish goal.
The message was given to the players by national team captain Magnus Hävelid after breakfast.
According to information to Sportbladet, the Junior crowns continue to change goalkeepers after clean sheets and big plays.
Most recently, it was Melker Thelin who was successful as a Swedish goalkeeper.
– We have two good goalkeepers starting now. It feels important for the continuation of the tournament, I won’t say more now, says Magnus Hävelid.
Both ready for play
One reason for a new goalkeeper change is that it has been less than 24 hours since the last match.
Neither of the two goalkeepers took part in the match day warm-up and Hugo Hävelid also rested from ice time on Thursday.
– I am always ready and preparing for matches, says Hugo Hävelid.
– Of course you want to play as much as possible, says Melker Thelin.
Generated against different resistances
The junior crowns have started the JVM with six points and a goal difference of 11–0 against Latvia and Germany.
Now it’s time for the first big value meter against Canada chasing its third straight JVM gold.
It is noteworthy that in the two training matches in Ängelholm, it was Hugo Hävelid who had to stand in goal in the 4–2 victory against easier opposition Switzerland.
While Melker Thelin was trusted from the start in the general rope against the JVM favorite USA.
Then Hugo Hävelid had to enter the third period to experience tougher opposition, as the Junior crowns lost 2–2 to lose 5–3.

“Like a new acquisition”
Fullback Elias Salomonsson is back after receiving a match penalty after 25 seconds against Latvia and was suspended against Germany.
– When we had to go on six slopes with a lot of ice time last time and have Theo Lindstein who came in after the injury to Jakob Norén in the general rope, Elias Salomonsson is welcome in the team. It’s Elias Salomonsson who loves to play and is perfect for us. I can see him getting a big role, he’s so good and has sharp legs and head. In the game picture that I see in front of me, he will be important, he will be like a new acquisition, says Magnus Hävelid.
One hour before drop-off, Juniorkrona announces the official line up.
Canada has opened the WC with 5–2 against Finland and 10–0 against Latvia.
Expected draft pick Macklin Celebrini has scored two goals and four assists.
Match start in Scandinavium on Friday evening is at 19.30.
