Can the Germans stop the "ice comrades" today?

The previously slightly injured and rested Korbinian Holzer and Matthias Plachta from the Adler Mannheim are also there again.

As expected, NHL keeper Philipp Grubauer from Seattle Kraken starts in goal.

Like Holzer and Plachta, the man from Rosenheim was given a break in the 5-4 win over Kazakhstan on Sunday.

Goalkeeper Dustin Strahlmeier and defender Dominik Bittner from the Grizzlys Wolfsburg are not in the line-up.

NHL striker Tim Stützle is also injured and can no longer play at the World Cup.

Ice Hockey World Cup: Germany required to finish the preliminary round against Switzerland

First report from May 24, 10:10 a.m.:

Helsinki - Grand final in the group phase!

At the end of the preliminary round of the Ice Hockey World Championship on Tuesday (11.20 a.m. / Sport1 and MagentaSport) the German team will face arch-rival Switzerland.

With just one point, the best German World Cup preliminary round would be perfect.

The starting position: Both teams are already qualified for the quarter-finals.

Switzerland goes into the game as favorites with six wins from six games.

One point is enough for the Confederates to win their group, for which Germany would have to win in regular time.

The selection of the German Ice Hockey Federation only needs one point to secure second place.

That would also mean avoiding the supposedly stronger opponents in the quarter-finals and not having to travel to Tampere yet.

Ice Hockey World Championship: Germany meets Switzerland

The opponent: Switzerland, who is sixth in the world rankings, has marched confidently through the tournament so far and also won against record world champions Canada 6:3.

"It's the strongest Swiss team in years," said Detroit Red Wings defender Moritz Seider about the opponent, who started with seven NHL players.

The statistics: German teams have won 15 and lost only nine of the 27 World Cup games so far.

Three games ended in a draw when they had not yet been decided.

Germany has also often triumphed in important games at major tournaments, for example at the 2018 Olympics on the way to the silver medal and at the 2021 World Cup on the way to the semifinals.

So far, Germany has been convincing at the Ice Hockey World Championships.

Also at the end of the preliminary round against Switzerland?

Germany is living the ice hockey dream: The quarterfinals of the World Cup are already fixed

National coach Toni Söderholm says: "Switzerland is definitely one of the strongest teams in the tournament so far.

They are top-class and have developed their style of play.

There is a lot of joy in playing.”

The perspective: The quarter-finals will take place on Thursday.

The outcome of the game against Switzerland will determine who the German team will play against and whether they will play again in Helsinki or have to travel to Tampere.

Olympic champions Finland, Sweden, the USA, the Czech Republic and Latvia could become opponents in the quarterfinals.

But first the Confederates are waiting on Tuesday.
