BOSTON — Sweden rallied after falling behind just 35 seconds into the game and beat the United States 2-1 in the 4 Nations Face-Off round-robin finale. It was the title game-bound Americans' first loss of the tournament. The U.S. team had already clinched a spot in Thursday night's championship game against Canada. The Canadians beat Finland earlier Monday. The nightcap meant nothing to either the Americans or Swedes, who needed Canada to falter to have a chance of making the final.
