Both sides went into the contest with 100 percent records but it was the holders who looked the more likely. Sweden, who were missing a number of key players, threatened briefly in the first period but trailed 1-0 when Jonathan Toews opened the scoring for the favourites.
Canada pressed home their advantage in the second period when captain Sidney Crosby made it 2-0. Any hopes of a Swedish comeback were killed in the third period when Chris Kunitz scored a spectacular third to ensure the Olympic hockey gold medal returns to Canada for another four years.
