Swiss leave it late Blum bombshell shatters Denmark Switzerland's Simon Moser #82 battles for position with Denmark's Stefan Lassen #6 while Sebastian Dahm #32 attempts to follow the play during preliminary round action at the 2016 IIHF Ice Hockey Championship. Switzerland went to overtime for the third time in three games - but this time Patrick Fisher's team got its first victory of the tournament. Looking for a late goal? Look for Raphael Diaz. The Swiss defenceman assisted on his team's last-gasp equalizer to salvage a point against Norway and the New York Ranger repeated the trick as his team once again wiped out a two-goal deficit in the third to force its third successive bout of overtime. This time Nino Niederreitter got the vital touch on a Diaz play to beat Denmark's Sebastian Dahm - just - and tie the scores at 2-2 with two minutes to play. Dahm then had to be alert in the extras to win a duel with Denis Hollenstein after another Diaz pass split the Danish defence. But the goalie had no answer in the 65th minute as Switzerland completed its revival with a one-timer from Eric Blum at the top of the face-off circle to claim a 3-2 victory. That snapped a run of seven defeats in World Championship games that went to overtime or a shoot-out but Niederreitter warned that the Swiss have to start games strongly rather than trying to fight back. "Good for us that we didn't give up, but we have to start games better," he said. "We can't keep coming back like this." For Denmark, meanwhile, the consequences of a third-period slump may prove even more painful than the failure to record a first ever World Championship victory over the Swiss. Influential defenceman Jesper B Jensen was stretchered off with what looked to be a head injury and taken to hospital for further checks. The defenceman fell awkwardly following a hit from Andres Ambuhl. The officials did not call a penalty and Ambuhl, contrite over injuring a fellow player, said after the game that he felt it was a clean hit. The Swiss captain also acknowledged that his team could not keep relying on overtime to get its points. "I guess in the next couple of games we should make sure we only play 60 minutes," he said. "Going into this game we were only interested in getting three points. But we were 2-0 back and we battled and won the game so that's a real positive. We have to keep on going." At that point the Danes led 2-0 and seemed to have the measure of the Swiss attack - but when Yannick Weber scored in the 50th minute the game was transformed. The defenceman moved up from the point to take Simon Moser's pass and squeeze a wrister inside the near post from the edge of the circle. Niederreiter supplied the screen and Denmark began to doubt. "Every team in this group can hurt you," Weber said. "To get out of the group we need our best players to be better than their best players on the day, and I think we did that tonight." Denmark's goalie Dahm pulled off some smart stops as Switzerland began to tighten the screws, but could not hold out until the hooter. "In the end they got a puck on the net and it bounced off a stick or a skate and went in," he lamented. "It's tough for us - we deserved better than one point - but at this stage we'll take everything we can get in this group and try to build on it." That was harsh on the Graz 99ers goalie, who seemed poised to backstop his team to another good win after two power play goals in the first period put Denmark into a strong position. Switzerland’s stuttering start to the IIHF World Championship prompted head coach Patrick Fischer to make changes with Reto Schappi replacing Gaetan Haas and Samuel Walser promoted to the top line after scoring twice in the first two games of the tournament. But a combination of whistle-happy officials and a visibly nervous defence left the Swiss struggling once again early on. Frederik Storm opened the scoring, getting the key deflection on Daniel Nielsen’s slap shot to beat Reto Berra in the Swiss net after seven minutes. After Denmark took the lead, a game that offered little fluent play from the outset got bogged down in a series of niggly penalties, robbing the Swiss offence of its composure for long periods. Not even a double power play midway through the stanza managed to seriously inconvenience the Danes. But there was no doubting the composure of Nikolaj Ehlers as the youngster doubled the Danish lead a minute before the intermission. Slick stick-handling wrongfooted Raphael Diaz and opened up a lane for a wrist shot to zing inside the angle of post and bar. The middle session was dominated by yet more penalty calls: the teams shared seven minor infractions, making it hard to find much fluency. What bright spots did emerge tended to involve Ehlers as the 20-year-old Winnipeg Jet began to orchestrate more of the play on Denmark’s top line. That injury to Jensen disrupted the start of the third stanza and despite a chance for Lars Eller almost immediately after play resumed, Switzerland began to get the upper hand on its way to forcing overtime for the third game running.

Switzerland - Denmark 3-2 after OT

Germans get first victory Most lopsided German win ever over Slovakia Germany's Philip Gogulla #87 celebrates with Denis Reul #2 and Constantin Braun #90 after scoring a second period goal during preliminary round action at the 2016 IIHF Ice Hockey Championship. Scoring three second-period goals, Germany earned a vital 5-1 victory over Slovakia on Tuesday. The result keeps the Germans' quarter-final hopes alive. Patrick Hager, Patrick Reimer, and Dominik Kahun had a goal and an assist apiece for Germany, and Phiip Gogulla and Brooks Macek also tallied. Moritz Muller chipped in with a pair of assists. Peter Cehlarik replied for Slovakia, which suffered its first loss of 2016. This was a welcome change of pace for new German national team coach Marco Sturm. It was his team's first win here in St. Petersburg. Germany’s only previous point came from the opening 3-2 shootout loss to France. This 5-1 score represents the biggest margin of victory for Germany over Slovakia in World Championship history. Slovak goalie Branislav Konrad, who played in the 4-1 win over Hungary, got his second start of the tournament, but would be pulled in the third period. Germany’s Felix Bruckmann won his World Championship debut. Shots on goal were even at 28 apiece. The Slovaks, who finished ninth the last two years, are hoping for their first medal since 2012’s silver. Germany’s last medal was also silver, but that was in 1953. The Germans haven't made the quarter-finals since 2011. However, these two nations have played each other on surprisingly even terms since their first World Championship meeting in 1996. This result improved Germany’s all-time record versus Slovakia to five wins and four losses. Germany has won four out of the last five meetings dating back to 2008. At 2:51, Slovakia got the first power play when Reimer accidentally clipped Tomas Hrnka with his stick. The Slovaks mounted furious pressure around the German net, including Libor Hudacek hitting the goal post, but couldn’t break through. Cehlarik opened the scoring on an interesting play at 8:42. Marek Bartanus circled the German net and flung a cross-ice pass to Cehlarik, who put the puck in off Bruckmann from a bad angle. The referee initially waved it off, but Bartanus rushed over and, with great vehemence, pointed at the puck in the net, which quickly clarified matters. At 4:23 of the second period, Germany tied it up on a nifty passing play. Felix Schutz got the puck behind the Slovak net and sent a backhand centering pass to Hager, who eluded Tomas Jurco’s stick check and beat Konrad. Gogulla gave Germany a 2-1 lead at 11:03 with a center point drive off a faceoff that slipped in low to the glove side. The Germans scored their third power play goal of the tournament with some nice puck movement, again off a faceoff. From the goal line, Kahun found an unguarded Reimer out front and he slid the puck past Konrad’s left pad for a 3-1 lead at 14:48. At 3:45 of the third period, Macek put the game out of reach when he swooped in from the neutral zone, caught the Slovak defence backing up and flung a wrister past Konrad. That prompted a Slovak goaltending change, with Julius Hudacek coming in in relief. The teams both marched to the penalty box as the final stanza wore on, but neither side could capitalize with the man advantage. Kahun rounded out the scoring for Germany at 5-1 with 5:24 left, bagging a rebound to cap off a rush. Next up for Germany is defending champion Canada on Thursday. The Canadians hammered the Germans 10-0 last year. Slovakia will look to get back in the win column on Wednesday against Belarus, which has lost three straight.

Slovakia - Germany 1-5

I´m really sorry if you had to watch it. they do it to us, hockey fans quite often...

nothing. Germany played a great match, nothing to say about. the problem is about our play. This was awful, without move, without emotions, without anything. too lazy.. just as usual but the fun fact is that we have still chance to have everything in our own hands, if those languid super stars will by some miracle win tomorrow against Belarus...

our commentators are just unbelievable, I don´t know if they live in some naive cloudes or what still trying to find excuses for these guys... c´mon this is unacceptable. let not hide the truth, this is not because they had a bad day and I don´t know what...Ok I agree they are talented, and very good players, no doubts about, but only in their clubs. Their problem is simple. They are lazy as f..k in National team. When we got 2-3 goals, it´s over, they don´t even try to move or skate, not even a small try to make two-three more steps to the puck, just try to not injured themselves and not lost their big money in clubs..

well, and now I´m really wonder which excusses we will listen in the interviews

I think it´s not over for your QF goal. The tournament is long and you have definitely a team to win the lost points back. and even if not, I expect Germany to fight for medals next year in Cologne. You have really good players, and what is much important they play like a team, I feel a true team spirit inside your team. Well, what to say about him. so young and sooo good. Draisaitl is a huge world hockey talent, already a complete player. It´s difficult to find anything wrong in his play. In fact I like him btw congrats for your today fully deserved win

nothing new, as I said from the very start. bunch of lazy loosers ! not even a try to move their asses. nothing. they prefer think about their villas and money contracts than about the play. I´m not surprised, not even sad. really, they don´t deserve anything else, bunch of lazy "super stars".. Germany ! great second period, the fighting spirit and high focusing on play, activity, skating, determination to win and achieve something. all what we are missing.

Finns remain perfect Komarov notches third-period winner vs. U.S. Finland's Antti Pihlstrom #41 celebrates after scoring a first period goal during preliminary round action at the 2016 IIHF Ice Hockey Championship. Finland kept pace with Canada as the 2016 tournament’s only other perfect team, beating the U.S. 3-2 on Monday night. Leo Komarov got the third-period winner. Mikko Koivu and Antti Pihlstrom had the other Finnish goals in this hotly contested, physical affair. Frank Vatrano and Connor Murphy replied for the Americans. Finnish starting goalie Mikko Koskinen earned his third straight three-point win against the U.S.'s Mike Condon. Shots favored Finland 22-18. "We were a little tighter, knowing they were going to be sitting back in the neutral zone and the skill they have up front," said Murphy. "We didn’t really take care of things well in big spots and took penalties at the end of the game. We gave them some great chances and they have players who have been playing together for years on these national teams." Fans came anticipating a showdown of apocalyptic proportions between the U.S.’s Auston Matthews and Finland’s Patrik Laine, who are vying for the honor of being selected first overall in June’s NHL Draft. These two teenagers in men’s bodies have size, strength, and skills that rival those of NHLers 10 years their senior. "Patrik is a really good two-way player who makes smart decisions with the puck," said Finnish assistant captain Jussi Jokinen. "You see it the way he is playing here." The centre from Arizona and the winger from Tampere took their first shift against each other just 1:21 in. They would go head-to-head on multiple occasions. Both were good, if not otherworldly. In the end, Matthews got a point and made fewer errors, but Laine made things happen and got the win. "It would have been nice to get a win tonight but that is how it goes," said Matthews. "Every team here wants to win," said Laine. "We have to keep going and playing our game, and I think anything is possible. But we have to keep working." Buoyed by the partisan blue-and-white crowd’s chants of “Suomi!”, the two sides got off to a high-paced start at Yubileiny. The Finns drew first blood at 9:16 with their Minnesota Wild connection. Mikael Granlund capitalized on a U.S. turnover behind the goal line and sent a deft backhand pass to Koivu, who fired it past Condon high to the glove side. Laine made his presence felt against U.S. captain Matt Hendricks midway through the first, knocking off Hendricks’ helmet with a big hit in front of the U.S. bench Pihlstrom made it 2-0 Finland at 12:04, taking a nice pass from Teemu Pulkkinen on the rush and beating Condon over the glove from the left faceoff circle. The shot placement was almost identical to Koivu’s. The Finns were dancing now, with Granlund drawing cheers as he befuddled U.S. defenders with his clever stickhandling deep in the offensive zone. Yet the U.S. cut the deficit to 2-1 at 13:45 on a play involving the two top draft prospects. Laine turned the puck over inside the American blue line, and Matthews got it to Vatrano. The stocky Boston Bruins forward zoomed down left wing and surprised Koskinen with a slapper. When Nick Foligno was sent off for slashing with under two minutes left in the first, Laine got two great power play chances with his patented howitzers from the left faceoff circle. But both times Condon stopped him with his left arm. In the second period, Laine set up Jussi Jokinen for a promising dash down right wing, and then Matthews came right back and kicked off a nifty passing play inside the Finnish zone. Mid-period, Koivu had a superb chance for his second of the game on a 4-on-4 solo break, but Condon denied him on the slapper. The Americans got a late-period man advantage when Laine was sent to the sin bin for hooking on defenceman David Warsofsky while forechecking aggressively. Matthews generated a couple of good but fruitless chances. The second period finished much like the first did – with Laine sparking a Finnish shooting gallery – but with no goals. Just 53 seconds into the third, the U.S. got the 2-2 equalizer. Patrick Maroon's dogged work behind the net led to a nice centering pass to Murphy, and his quick, high release eluded Koskinen. On a broken play, Finland regained the lead at 4:16 with the man advantage. Komarov tried to center the puck from the goal line, but Condon got his stick on it, and Aleksander Barkov simply passed it right back to Komarov to bang in the open side. As the clock counted down, the Finnish checking tightened up, with Komarov doggedly setting the tone in every zone. The Americans pulled Condon for the extra attacker with 1:12 remaining. Matthews played the point, but there would be no more points for him this night. "We weren’t able to get too many scoring chances and that cost us throughout the game," said Matthews. Historically, the Finns have enjoyed a slight advantage over the U.S. at the IIHF World Championship. But this was their first win in five tries. They last beat the U.S. 3-2 in the quarter-finals on May 17, 2012.
