Exactly right.
Sweden finished third and won the bronze medal. It's interesting that they were the only opponent the U.S. did not defeat in that tournament. They played to a tie in the first game of the preliminary round when the U.S. pulled their goalie and scored with less than a minute left in the game.

I remember that game and the goal. It was the first game of the tourney. IIRC, there was a scenario that if the US had lost to Finland, there was a scenario in which the Americans would have benefited from a Soviet win over Sweden to be played later that day.
