Now Germany is really hot for the quarterfinals!
The DEB team (Switzerland’s opponents in the preliminary round on May 24) wins the important game against Denmark 1-0. The knockout phase is within reach after the third win in the fourth World Cup appearance.
Marc Michaelis scored the only goal of the game in the 33rd minute. NHL goalie Philipp Grubauer (Seattle Kraken) stops all 18 Danish shots.
Fire alarm – no casualties
Before the match, we get these rare pictures from Helsinki: The German and Danish players are sitting in full gear outside the stadium in Helsinki.
The reason: 30 minutes before the first face-off, the fire alarm goes off in the stadium. All persons must leave the stadium immediately. The fire brigade rushes out.
The small fire is quickly extinguished. Fortunately, no one was injured in this incident. The match, originally scheduled for 3:20 p.m., starts 100 minutes late.
USA victory against Great Britain
The game in Tampere begins without delay. However, the favored Americans are having teething troubles against the Brits, who are in danger of relegation. Ben Meyers made it 1-0 in the 29th minute. Kieffer Bellows is then responsible for the 2-0 and 3-0 in the final section. (nab/yap)
