Latvia beat 2022 World Cup bronze medalists Czech Republic in extra time. Oskars Batna defeated goalkeeper Simon Hrubec (ZSC Lions) on a rebound in the 65th minute to ensure the World Cup hosts scored their first points in the third game. In Riga, the spectators are over the moon after the 4:3 victory.
The Latvians led by Harijs Vitolins are currently leading 2:1 and 3:2. Michal Kempny scored the goal to equalize 3:3 for the Czechs 3:02 minutes before the end of regulation time.
The Czech Republic is the opponent of our national team on May 21, Switzerland will meet the Latvians at the end of the preliminary round on May 23.
It is certainly not yet the tournament of the reigning world champion and Olympic champion. Finland loses at home in Tampere in the third game for the second time. Why does this defeat hurt so much? Because it comes against arch-rival Sweden.
Lucas Raymond decides the game in the penalty shootout for the Swedes. Detroit Red Wings forward beats goalkeeper Emil Larmi twice. Henrik Tömmernes, who became champion with Geneva in Switzerland, also scores in the shootout.
Two goals are scored in regulation time. Oscar Lindberg put Sweden ahead in the 38th minute, Juho Lammikko of the ZSC Lions equalized in the third period (47th).
Third game, third defeat: The German national ice hockey team also lost to the third medal candidate at the World Cup in Finland and Latvia. After the 2:3 against the USA, the team of Harold Kreis (championship coach at Lugano 2006 and the ZSC Lions 2008) is without points for the first time since relegation in 2005 for the fourth match day.
Goals from Samuel Soramies (31st) and Justin Schütz (40th) give the Germans a 2-1 lead and put the Americans under pressure. The American team, which had disappointed world and Olympic champion Finland 4-1 at the start, then turned things around in the person of Sean Farrell (46th) and Matt Coronato (55th).
After the three strongest opponents, Sweden (0:1), Finland (3:4) and the USA, now the supposedly easier tasks await, in which the DEB selection cannot be mistaken. On Thursday (19.20 live on Sport1) against Denmark, the matches begin, in which the quarter-finals are at stake.
In the other afternoon game, record world champion Canada has to fight hard. Against Slovakia – opponent Nati on Thursday (from 7.20 pm) – the North Americans have to make a detour via a penalty shoot-out, where they still win.
In Riga it was 1-1 after 60 minutes, but nobody managed to score the golden goal in extra time. And so it is Jack Quinn with his penalty goal and Samuel Montembeault with his subsequent save that give the Canadians the extra point. (AFP/che/yap)
