CAN - SUI
It did not take long for Team Canada to score the first goal against the underdogs, as Tyler Seguin only needed 53 seconds to beat Swiss goalie Reto Berra.

Switzerland though did respond and had its first scoring chance in the 4th minute, but Mike Smith could stop both the initial shot by Andreas Ambühl and Patrick Geering’s rebound opportunity. One minute later a Swiss goal was waved off following the video review, as the video footage did not show conclusive evidence, whether the puck had crossed the goal line or not.

The Swiss’ efforts would be rewarded in the 6th minute. Morris Trachsler brought the puck on net from a seemingly harmless position, but Smith was unable to control the puck and the game was tied.

CAN - SUISwitzerland created more chances, the best one in the last minute of the first period when Andreas Ambühl was alone against Smith, but the Canadian net minder denied him with a pad save. Nathan MacKinnon on the counter attack showed the Swiss how to score with an incredible top shelf snipe to give Canada the lead.

In the middle frame Canada began to control the game and took the two-goal-lead thanks to a one timer by Aaron Ekblad in the 28th minute. The ‘canucks’ kept pressuring and Jordan Eberle’s rebound goal decided the game in the 39th minute, right after Reto Berra denied a couple of Canadian attempts with astonishing saves. In literally the last second Cody Eakins added one more to make it 5-1 Canada going into the second intermission.

CAN - SUIDamien Brunner opened up the scoring in the final 20 minutes with the Swiss’ second goal of the game. In the 45th minute Kevin Fiala even had the chance for his team’s third goal deflecting Grossman’s shot, but the member of the Nashville Predators could not beat Smith

It would though be the Canadian offence to add two more. Sean Couturier, on the odd man rush, used Tyler Toffoli’s rebound to reestablish the four-goal-lead, before Flyer’s teammate Claude Giroux made it 7-2.
