Daniel Alfredsson scored off a rebound with 7:21 left and Henrik Lundqvist had a 26-save shutout Friday, lifting short-handed Sweden to a 1-0 win over Switzerland at the Olympics. Sweden announced before the game that captain Henrik Zetterberg will miss the rest of the tournament because of a herniated disk, taking a third key player off their roster. The Swedes were medal favorites a month ago, but since then the 2006 Olympic champions have lost three of their best forwards due to injuries: Zetterberg, Henrik Sedin and Johan Franzen. And having five-time Olympian Alfredsson on the ice helps Sweden as well.
