Thank you for following us and welcome back for the evening games! (18:47:40)
RETO SURRI scores the winning shot
Allowed after video review!
Crazy situation where the puck went up in the air in front of Smith and after big scramble in front of goal with two Canadiens in the crease the puck suddenly went over the goal line. NINO NIEDERREITER gets the goal.
Out of nothing MATT READ picks up a loose puck and scores from a very tight angle with a high shot over Gerber's shoulder
A lucky bonce in the boards for Canada gives the puck to Schenn who finds ANDREW LADD in front of goal who gets his stick to the puck to deflect it pass Gerber
We will be back soon for the second period.

Switzerland got a great start to the tournament beating Sweden 3-2 in the first game. Can they repeat it against Canada?
Canada who has a lineup filled with NHL stars had a slow start against Denmark but won 3-1 after two great goals by Matt Duchene.
