The Blue Jackets organization added another trophy to the cabinet this postseason. William Karlsson helped Sweden to its first IIHF World Championship since 2013 on Sunday, playing 17:03 in the gold medal game.

Sweden defeated Canada in a tight gold medal game that was ultimately decided in a shootout. Henrik Lundqvist stopped all four Canadian attempts to bring the IIHF World Championships to a close in Cologne.

William Karlsson, who played 81 games with the Blue Jackets this season, ended the tournament with 1-2--3 in 10 GP, registering a +6 rating.
Safe to say that Sweden was happy with the result:
