Sweden pulled goaltender Filip Gustavsson in favor of Linus Ullmark following the first period of Saturday's game versus Finland.
Head coach Sam Hallam said Gustavsson was removed from the contest due to illness, according to TSN's Pierre LeBrun.
The netminder allowed two goals on four shots in the opening stanza. First, Anton Lundell beat him five-hole.
Then, Mikko Rantanen fooled Gustavsson with a changeup to give Finland the lead entering the intermission.
Gustavsson allowed four goals on 28 shots in Sweden's overtime loss to Canada in the tournament opener.
Finland took the contest 4-3 in overtime.
