It’s Canada’s first title since 2015.
Dillon Dube and Alex Formenton, into an empty net, also scored for Canada.
Carter Hart made 35 saves for the win.
Tim Soderlund scored for Sweden.
Earlier, the United States defeated the Czech Republic 9-3 for
bronze.
Canada will try to defend its title next year when Victoria and Vancouver will host the tournament.
