Davos scored a surprise victory against Team Canada.
KEYSTONE
Davos was very strong on Thursday in the Eisstadion. The Swiss club, which began its Spengler Cup with a great victory against Frölunda, created a surprise by overthrowing Team Canada in a crazy final third. Winners 3-4, the Graubünden shone against the favorite of the competition.
However, things were going very badly for Davos. Abandoned by the defense in a favorable position to shoot, Jooris opened the scoring from the start of the match for the Canadian team (5th). Not yet satisfied, the Canadians continued to push, bringing almost permanent danger around the Swiss cage.
Haapala scorer
And yet, it was the Grisons who scored the second goal of the match, with a goal from Lausanne’s Haapala (31st). A short-lived hope, since a sublime touch from Joly, deflecting a shot from Leslie, put the North Americans back on track (38th). Two minutes later, Quenneville made the break (40th).
The HCD managed to surprise its opponent a second time at the start of the third period, with a nice goal from Fora (42nd). Boosted by this success, Josh Holden’s men provoked the madness of the supporters by snatching the equalizer, through the eternal captain Ambühl (51st). And it was at the end of a magnificent collective effort, perfectly negotiated, that Andersson offered victory to his team (57th).
Directly qualified
Thanks to this success, Davos positions itself in first place in the group and qualifies directly for the semi-finals. A hell of a performance for Graubünden, who hope to regain the title after eleven years of drought.
Ranked in 2nd place, Team Canada will play Friday evening against the Finns of KalPa Kuopio, defeated by Ambri and Pardubice.
