Record world champion Canada remains undefeated in the fourth game at the Ice Hockey World Championship. Before Saturday’s game against Switzerland, the North Americans clearly won Kazakhstan 5-1.
The Canadians made the difference to the sovereign victory with four goals in the starting third. MacKenzie Wegar made it 1-0 for the favorite after just 19 seconds. In addition, Lawson Crouse provides clear conditions with his goals in the 6th and 8th minutes.
Should Switzerland also win its fourth game against Slovakia on Thursday (7.20 PM), the two unbeaten teams in Group B will face the Canadians on Saturday afternoon (3.20 PM).
Latvia thanks to «Swiss» co-production
In the Swiss group’s other match in Riga on Wednesday, co-hosts Latvia secured their second victory, their first after 60 minutes, as they defeated Norway 2-1. A double blow from the Latvians within 39 seconds is decisive. The winning goal in the 24th minute is also a “Swiss” co-production: Toms Andersons of Swiss League club La Chaux-de-Fonds meets a pass from Lausanne striker Ronalds Kenins.
US still sovereign
Austria is still waiting for its first victory in Group A in Tampere. In the fourth game, the team led by Swiss coach Roger Bader suffered a 4-1 loss against the still undefeated USA. The winner of the game for the Americans is Carter Mazur, who promptly responded to the Austrians’ equalizer with his first World Cup goal.
In the evening, Finland struggled to a narrow 5-3 victory against France in front of their home crowd. Teemu Hartikainen of champion Geneva-Servette is responsible for the game winner of the defending champion, previously Harri Pesonen of the SCL Tigers also scored. Servette’s newcomer Sakari Manninen closes the game with an Empty Netter. The Finns are fourth in their group with seven points from four games. (SDA/nsa)
