"I have not been able to move much, had a rough night," Zetterberg told SportEspressen.se. You cannot keep going like this. It's the same as in December."

Sweden cannot replace Zetterberg on the roster and will be forced to go with 24 players for the rest of the way.

The Swiss avoided a huge upset to Latvia by getting a fortunate bounce on Simon Moser's goal with 7.9 seconds left in regulation for a 1-0 victory. Goalie Jonas Hiller made all 21 saves on his 32nd birthday in Reto Berra of the Flames will get the nod against Sweden.

"We've got two very good teams to come," defenseman Julien Vauclair told the IIHF website. "The Swedes and the Czechs are among the best in the world. But we showed some really aggressive hockey out there and we have a chance. Now we focus on Sweden and we'll try to win that game."

Switzerland generated 39 shots against Latvia, including several quality chances by Damien Brunner, but will have to do a better job of capitalizing against tougher opposition.

"I thought we played a pretty decent game but just couldn't find a way to put the puck in the back of the net," Hiller said. "The longer the game goes like that the tougher it gets. You start trying new things that don't always work and try to get too fancy. We'll take the three points and go from here."
