Henri Jokiharju scored the first goal of the game, but Juuse Saros (26 saves) allowed six straight after that for Finland (0-0-0-1). He gave up four goals on 12 shots in the third: two in the first 26 seconds, and another three minutes in.

“The first period was really even and actually, second period was [the] best part from us,” Finland coach Antti Pennanen said. “We had a couple of good chances, we didn’t score. Actually, I don’t know what happened after that. Start of the third was, I don’t know how to say that, but we weren’t ready for that.”

Finland, the only team in the tournament with zero points after one game, next plays Saturday against Sweden here (1 p.m. ET; ABC, ESPN+, SN, TVAS). The Swedes earned one point with their overtime loss Wednesday.

Pennanen was noncommittal on Saros being the starting goalie against Sweden.

“Of course we need to think about that,” he said. “It was a tough day for [Saros]. He was really good through the first 40 minutes, but I think we need to analyze this game and let’s make those decisions [Friday] or Saturday.”
