Game 2 USA 9 Sweden 4
Team Sweden got into penalty trouble early and the Americans made them pay.  Two power play goals in the first 6 minutes of the game was just the tip as Team USA went on to score 5 in the first period, then two more power play goals in the 2nd before Sweden could respond.  When the dust cleared, the score was 9-4 and Brian Mullen was leading the charge with 2 goals and 2 assists.  Neal Broten and Brett Hull also scored twice while Dave Christian, Pat Lafontaine, and Val James added singles.  Tomas Jonsson, Michael Thelven, Peter Andersson, and Jan Ingman had the Swedish goals.
