Netherlands does not repeat the good game played against China and comes off the ice with 14 goals suffered

24 hours after the good victory against China, Netherlands receives a hard lesson from the strong Ukraine, which leaves no room for the Dutch to try to surprise as they did the day before, burying them under the weight of 14 goals.

Technically and athletically superior, the Ukrainians, always driven by a good number of fans, immediately raised their voices, conceding just 8 shots on goal in the first two periods, instead targeting the Dutch goal with 45 shots, which yielded 10 goals in the first two periods, despite several good saves by goalkeeper Martijn Oosterwijk.

Very good performances by MVP Danil Trakht, 4 goals and one assist and Ilia Korenchuk, author of 3 goals and 2 assists. Ukraine arrives with high morale at the decisive match against Japan, which will determine their promotion. Just as for the Oranje the last match against Serbia will be fundamental, to stay in the 1st division
