Gabe Landeskog became the second Avalanche skater to be eliminated from the Olympics.<\/p>\n

Following Sweden\u2019s 2-1 overtime loss to Team USA, Landeskog, like Martin Necas, is heading back to Denver in short order. The Avalanche and Swedish captain helped his team force OT with a late game-tying goal before Quinn Hughes scored for the Americans to end it in the 3-on-3 period.<\/p>\n

USA outshot Sweden 6-0 in OT.<\/p>\n

The Americans held a 1-0 lead through two periods thanks to Dylan Larkin. His tally came in the second period and was assisted by both Quinn and Jack Hughes.<\/p>\n

The Swedes had several opportunities to tie it up but couldn\u2019t solve Connor Hellebuyck. Late in the third, Adrian hit a one-timer off the post. But on the very next shift, Landeskog sent a pass to Lucas Raymond. The Red Wings forward made a spectacular no-look pass through the seam to find Mika Zibanejad. He blasted a one-timer past Hellebuyck with goalie Jacob Markstrom on the bench for an extra attacker.<\/p>\n

Landeskog\u2019s tournament ends with two goals and two helpers in five games. The Swedes will go home without a medal or an opportunity to play for one.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Brock Nelson and the Americans advance to a semifinal matchup against Slovakia. The other matchup for an opportunity to play for the Gold Medal will be between Canada and Finland.<\/p>\n
