Team Switzerland clinched the bronze medal at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan on Thursday with a 2‑1 overtime win over Sweden, capped by Alina Müller’s 51‑second OT winner. Mira Jungåker gave Sweden an early lead in the second period, but Sinja Leemann’s timely game‑tying goal kept Swiss hopes alive.

After a scoreless first period, Mira Jungaker opened the scoring to put Sweden ahead 1-0 at 8:20 of the middle frame, taking a pass from Hilda Svensson after Thea Johansson carried the puck up and passed it to Svensson. Svensson circled the Swiss zone, then fed Jungaker for a wrister from the point to beat Andrea Braendli for her second goal of the tournament. Sinja Leemann evened it up 1-1 with 4:20 to go in the second off a feed by Alina Marti, who picked up the puck behind the net and centered it to Leemann, for a shot from in close to the net to get Switzerland on the board.


Alina Muller raced into the Swedish end with 51 seconds on the clock to roof the puck after a slick give-and-go with Ivana Wey, who received the puck from Lara Christen, to win it in overtime 2-1.






Notes:

- Andrea Braendli stopped 32 shots on goal for Switzerland.

- Ebba Svensson Traff stopped 23 shots on goal for Sweden, including Ivana Wey’s penalty shot attempt 6:21 into the second period.

- Sweden had hoped to end their 20-year Olympic medal drought in Milan.

- With her Bronze Medal OT winner, Muller moved into her fourth all-time in career Olympic women's ice hockey goals. ...It was her second medal-clinching goal, after she, a 15-year-old at the time, scored the game-winner in Switzerland’s 4-3 win over Sweden in the bronze medal match at the 2014 Sochi Games.
