At the start of the Ice Hockey World Championships, Germany loses 0-1 to eleven-time world champions Sweden. The DEB team concedes the decisive goal in the final third.

Germany takes a time-out, having previously taken out the goalkeeper. The game is now very competitive, both teams don't give each other anything. Germany will now have to significantly increase the risk in order to take something away from this. Germany is still outnumbered by more than a minute when the third period begins.
