The World Cup Grand Slam was the Canadian stars’ second straight. In the previous match, Switzerland was too strong with 6-3. Denmark, for their part, took the fourth victory of the championship.

The Danes went straight for Canada’s throat in Monday’s game. The opening period was barely half played when Malmö player Markus Lauridsen took the lead after preparation by Matthias Asperup and Morten Poulsen.

With just under five minutes remaining before the first break, Swiss pro Peter Regin doubled the lead and made the first half a black experience for Canada.

First time

In return, the second half had only lasted two minutes when Max Comtois cut the Canadians’ lead. However, this was never the start of a turnaround.

In the third period, Mathias Bau Hansen scored the 3-1 goal for Denmark, then it didn’t help that Canada cut it to 3-2 through New Jersey Devils player Ryan Graves and pushed for equalize in the last two minutes. Game.

This is the first time that Denmark has beaten Canada in a World Cup context.

Victory may still prove irrelevant in the battle for quarter-final spots. On Tuesday, the Danes complete the opener against Slovakia. If there were to be a defeat there, the Slovaks would squeeze past each other. At the same time, one Danish point counts for advancement.

Italy and Great Britain are relegated

Canada also have the same number of points as Denmark going into the final round, but are expected to beat France in their final game.

Markus Lauridsen was named Denmark’s best player in Monday’s game. Ryan Graves received the Canadian Team’s Best Man award.

While there were Danish cheers in Finland on Monday, it was also a difficult day for nations other than Canada. Italy lost 2-5 to Kazakhstan and can no longer retain their place in the World Cup. The same goes for Great Britain after the 3-5 defeat against Austria.
