Mikael Backlund tallied four points (one goal, three assists) for Sweden which will wrap up preliminary round play Tuesday against Russia in a game that could determine first place in Group A.

Klingberg staked the Swedes to a 1-0 lead 5:24 into the game with a power-play goal. The Dallas defenseman took a pass from Mika Zibanejad and scored on a wrist shot from the top of the right circle for his first goal of the tournament.

Klingberg, who played 22:21 and had four shots on goal Sunday, is tied for fourth in scoring among defensemen at the tournament with five points (one goal, four assists) in six games.

The Finns outshot the Germans 38-15, but Mathias Niederberger came up big in goal for Germany, stopping 36 shots.
