Henrik Lundqvist made 26 saves and the shutout for his second win in as many games. Eight years ago, he was in net when the Sweds won the gold medal, and the game's lone goal came from 41-year-old Daniel Alfredsson.

"We were fortunate at the beginning that Hank [Lundqvist] kept us in the game," defenseman Niklas Kronwall, named captain after Zetterberg's withdrawal, told NHL.com. "From the 10-minute mark of the first period onward, I thought we did some good things. I still think we can do better offensively."

That means more from players like Alfredsson, Daniel Sedin and Gustav Nyquist.

"We've got a lot of injuries," Daniel Sedin said. "That's when you need other guys to step up, and this was a big win."

Latvia was 7.9 seconds from forcing overtime against Switzerland. That was when they allowed the only go of the game.

"I felt we played a good game," Latvia's Janis Sprukts told the IIHF website after the game Thursday. "We started a bit slow in the beginning because it's just hard to get into the game in the morning. But we came back with a lot of energy and tried to be in the game as much as possible. We created some good chances."
