60 minutes: Is that close!

Denmark takes the goalie out of the box to have one more outfield player on the ice.

Seider picks up the puck after losing a disc - but the German NHL professional misses the empty goal from a distance.

58 minutes: The Danes' pressing has become much more intense in the last few minutes.

Grubauer has to intervene repeatedly, which makes it concentrated.

The Scandinavians don't have much of a chance.

55 minutes: Ehlers puts pressure on again.

If something is going on in Denmark, then with the NHL professional.

But: Germany looks very confident in the duels on the defensive, led by the veteran Holzer.

Grubauer has to intervene against Ehlers.

The German NHL goalie also has the margin from Nielsen.

The game is undecided in the final phase.

51 minutes: Huge thing from Ehliz!

The disc is in the Danish goal - but the goal doesn't count.

Ehliz finishes with the back of his trowel.

He himself slips into the gate and throws it out of the anchor.

Only then is the puck behind the line.

But there is no more gate.

49 minutes: Denmark is now holding up against it.

But the Scandinavians are also running out of time.

But: The DEB team defends its own box extremely consistently.

The center doesn't even touch the disc.

That looks good!

46 minutes: The huge chance to make it 2-0!

Ehl and Soramies both fail from the fray.

Ehl's shot hits the post, Soramies is collectively blocked by the Danes.

44 minutes: Uiuiuiuiuiui … Seider and his opponent edit each other violently.

Seider is put down twice, but then pinches Poulsen with his legs.

My dear, this is where things really get going!

Despite being only 21 years old, NHL shooting star Seider is something of the "Aggressive Leader" in the DEB team.

42nd Minute: Denmark comes explorer from the cabin.

But the Scandinavians also need more courage if they want to get something here and now against the DEB team.

41 minutes: The DEB team's World Cup game continues!

37 minutes: Two-minute time penalty against Plachta.

Germany is one man less on the ice.

Ice Hockey World Championship: Germany against Denmark in the live ticker – Michaelis with the lead

33 minutes: Goooooorrrr!!!

Germany 1-0 Denmark, goalscorer: Michaelis.

This is the lead!

Excellent attack, carried out with a lot of patience.

Wissmann puts it across to Noebels, who brings the disc directly and sharply in front of the goal.

Michaelis crosses in front of the box and holds out the trowel - so he deflects the puck unsustainably.

32 minutes: Caution!

Again Ehlers comes dangerously in front of the gate.

But Grubauer is careful again.

The Rosenheimer is very good in the game and asserts himself for the second time against the NHL forward of the Winnipeg Jets.

30 minutes: The German team is outnumbered due to a penalty.

But the DEB team defends - and the Scandinavians are sidelined.

Ice Hockey World Championship: Germany vs. Denmark in the live ticker – a huge feat by Grubauer

But the Dane fails because of the German goalie, who pulls out the stick and parries the rebound with the saver.

Very good save from the NHL goalie!

27 minutes: Huge chance for Germany!

The next!

Again, the DEB team plays the majority.

Pföderl fails from an acute angle at the Danish goalie.

The ball is put back in the second row, where Noebels pulls off without a hitch.

The Berliner carpenters the disc against the bar - already the second bar bang!

25 minutes: Huge chance for Germany!

Outnumbered for the DEB team, which plays this advantage strongly.

A Dane loses the bat, Buchmann plays sharply across the box.

At the second post, the goal is suddenly completely blank - but Kastner only hits the outer post from an acute angle.

23 minutes: Here is a real game of patience.

The Danes still leave the initiative to the Germans and confine themselves mainly to defence.

21st minute: It continues with the fourth World Cup game of the German national ice hockey team!

Fischbuch cancels the attack and discards toward the blue line.

The young German NHL professional unpacks a wonderfully placed shot.

He only carpenters the disc to the bar.

That was close!

15 minutes: The Danes have their first real shot at the German goal.

But there is no force behind this shot.

No problem for NHL goalie Grubauer in the German goal.

He has the glove on the puck.

13 minutes: A magnificent pass from Seider to Ehliz in a counterattack.

But Ehliz doesn't get the disc checked in front of the goal.

But that looked good, the Danish defense was taken by surprise.

Michaelis and Ehliz move to the gate.

But they can't get through.

The Danes stir Scandinavian concrete in front of their box.

But the Danes are good at moving backwards.

Tactically, the Scandinavians start more defensively and cautiously.

The DEB team largely makes the game.

5 minutes: Ehlers tries to set accents on the side of the Danes.

The Germans have to watch out for the NHL striker in Denmark's squad at the 2022 Ice Hockey World Championships.

Ehlers, who is the son of the national team coach, earns his living in North America with the Winnipeg Jets.

3 minutes: The Düsseldorfer Fischbuch moves in for the battered top striker Stützle in his line of attack.

Both teams start cautiously after the long break because of the fire.

The decision has been made: Germany competes against Denmark without a North American trio.

Both NHL striker Tim Stützle (Ottawa Senators) and the replacements Lukas Reichel (Chicago Blackhawks) and Leon Gawanke (Winnipeg Jets) are missing in the DEB team's squad against Denmark.

The 20-year-old Stützle was injured against France (3: 2) in a check in the gang.

He is said to have a strained knee.

Franke Reichel (20 years old) and Berliner Gawanke (22) had both traveled to Finland after their NHL farm teams were eliminated from the playoffs by the German national team, but only arrived in Helsinki on Wednesday.

Update from May 19, 2:10 p.m .:

The two World Cup successors Lukas Reichel and Leon Gawanke have arrived at the German national team.

The 20-year-old Reichel is under contract with the Chicago Blackhawks in the NHL, but completed last season with the farm team Rockford IceHogs in the second-rate AHL.

Der 22-jährige Berliner Gawanke steht in der NHL bei den Winnipeg Jets unter Vertrag, läuft aber für das Farmteam Manitoba Moose auf - ebenfalls in der NHL. Beide DEB-Cracks schieden zuletzt mit ihren Mannschaften in den Playoffs aus und reisten daraufhin nach Finnland zur Weltmeisterschaft. Dort angekommen absolvierten sie am Mittwoch einen negativen PCR-Test. Ob sie schon gegen Dänemark auflaufen können? Die Chancen stünden „Fifty-Fifty“, erklärte Bundestrainer Toni Söderholm vor der Partie gegen die Skandinavier.

Eishockey-WM: Deutschland gegen Dänemark im Live-Ticker - Vorentscheidung um das Viertelfinale

Erstmeldung vom 19. Mai: München/Helsinki - Deutschland gegen Dänemark: Es ist bei der Eishockey-WM 2022 in Finnland in Gruppe A die frühe Vorentscheidung um den Einzug ins Viertelfinale der Weltmeisterschaft. Das DEB-Team hat nach dem 3:2 gegen Frankreich beste Chancen auf die Runde der letzten Acht, nachdem die deutsche Nationalmannschaft zuvor bereits den Olympia-Dritten Slowakei 2:1 bezwungen hatte.

Vor dem Duell mit den Skandinaviern gibt es nun vor allem eine Frage: Kann Top-Stürmer Tim Stützle auflaufen oder nicht. Der erst 20-jährige NHL-Profi hatte bei der Eishockey-WM bislang einen prächtigen Eindruck hinterlassen - nach einer sehr guten Saison in der nordamerikanischen Profiliga. In dieser war der junge Westdeutsche zweitbester Scorer für die Ottawa Senators, mit 22 Toren sowie 36 Vorlagen und damit insgesamt 58 Punkten.

Eishockey-WM: Deutschland gegen Dänemark im Live-Ticker - Bangen um Tim Stützle

In der NHL gilt Stützle als Top-Talent. Bezeichnend: Ottawa hatte ihn 2020 an dritter Position gedraftet. Das kann sich sehen lassen.

Aber: Im letzten Gruppenspiel gegen die Franzosen musste er nach einem harten Check an der Bande schon nach 14 Minuten vom Eis. „Es gibt eine leichte Entwarnung, aber wir sind noch sehr vorsichtig“, sagte Sportdirektor Christian Künast Sport1 am Dienstag - ohne die Blessur genauer zu bezeichnen. In den TV-Bildern so aus, als habe Stützle was am Knie abbekommen. Am Dienstag und am Mittwoch fehlte Stützle jeweils im Training.

Can he feature against Denmark?

In the next game against Italy on Friday afternoon (4:20 p.m., here in the live ticker), Lukas Reichel and Leon Gawanke should also join the DEB team.

The two youngsters were eliminated with their clubs in the playoffs of the second-rate North American AHL and traveled to the national team in Finland.

But they can't play against the Danes yet.
