Germany - Canada -: -
>>> UPDATE <<<
Riga - Germany's national ice hockey team wants to create a World Cup coup against Canada on Whit Monday (7.15 p.m. / Sport1). The two victories so far in Riga have increased self-confidence. “We're going into the game with a lot of anticipation,” said top defender Moritz Seider: “We don't want to hide. We want to win the game, no question about it. "
With six points, the selection of the German Ice Hockey Federation for the targeted quarter-final qualification is well in the running.
The 9: 4 against Italy and the 5: 1 against Norway were no more than mandatory victories.
The Canadians compete with a number of NHL players, but with a more unknown team than usual.
“The North Americans may have more question marks than usual,” said national coach Toni Söderholm.
In fact, the Canadians are already under a lot of pressure after just two games.
After the surprisingly lost opening game against Latvia (0: 2), they also lost against the USA with 1: 5.

It was terrific when Germany moved into the final at the 2018 Winter Games by beating Canada 4: 3 in a game of the century and secured Olympic silver.
In Pyeongchang, unlike now at the World Cup, there were no NHL players.
A German World Cup victory against Canada last came in 1996 with a 5-1 win in Vienna.
Captain Moritz Müller: “We can be very proud of how we have performed so far.
We are a great team.
We value and like each other.
I think that's the key.
Of course we want to beat Canada now. ”The third preliminary round game is followed by a free Tuesday for the Germans.
Then it goes on Wednesday against Kazakhstan, who so far surprised with two wins after penalty shootouts against Latvia and Finland.
