Two goals by Nino Niederreiter and one by Ken Jäger gave the Swiss a 3–0 lead already in the first period. The Danes did not recover from that knock.
Denis Malgin, Sandro Schmid, Damien Riat, and Tyler Moy ensured that Switzerland won 7–0 and will play the final against the USA.
First Medal Match
Fate wanted the battle for bronze (face-off 15.20) to be a affair between the host countries. For Tre Kronor, a final third place is a meager consolation in a championship where gold was the stated goal.
For Denmark, the possibility of experiencing the country's greatest achievement so far beckons.
With a squad consisting of familiar names from, among others, SHL, the Swedish federation captain duo Mikael Gath and Andreas Lilja led Denmark to a medal match for the first time.
Play with Heart
We're meeting one of the world's best. We have to play with heart as we did against Canada. We also have to hope that they don't have their best day. It's going to be a tough match, but we'll give it our all and go all in, says Jesper Jensen Aabo, who has played for Färjestad, Malmö, and Rögle.
Switzerland is making a new attempt to win the World Championship gold. The fourth final in twelve years awaits against the USA, which crushed Tre Kronor 6–2. The Swiss are in their second consecutive final. Last year, the Czech Republic took the gold via 2–0 in Prague.
Before that, Tre Kronor won the finals in 2013 and 2018.
