    Norwegian players didn´t collect points from this battle, so the great decision about advanced teams into play-offs will come on Tuesday in Czech Republic – Norway game. Direct battle for 1 place further...

    Team Switzerland, contrary, collects another deserved victory and still doesn´t lose any game!
     
    60:00
    Game over.
     
    59:21
    Team Norway calls off Haugen and tries to make a drama with 6 players on the field!
     
    59:13
    2 on 1 situation and Simon Moser fires only to the glove!
     
    58:23
    Mads Hansen gets across his defender to Gerber, but he stops this opportunity right on its start.
     
    58:00
    2 minutes left in the 3rd period.
     
    57:56
    Norwegian try twice to get into the zone, but Swiss defense hold the blue line carefully.
     
    57:19
    Understandably, Swiss players are not heading forward...
     
    55:21
    Per-Age Skroder fires from a distance and Gerber makes a non confident save when he only flicks the puck out of the net. Swiss got scarred.
     
    54:59
    Luca Cunti holds the puck in the Norwegian zone. Vikings don´t have problems get out of their zone and the situation doesn´t look like that we can look forward a drama in last minutes.
     
    54:22
    Walker skates close to the left barrier and fires. The shot is tipped and ends in a safety net. After the last commercial break, a face-off will take place in front of Haugen.
     
    53:35
    Norwegian players at full strength.
     
    53:21
    Roman Josi gets the puck and with his great shot strikes Haugen´s pads.
     
    53:00
    Vauclair fires only to Haugen who has a clear view, so any problem to save.
     
    52:17
    Luca Cunti skates close to a post and tries to pass to Bodenmann. However, Norwegian defense looks through this thought and blocked Bodenmann. The puck leaves the zone.
     
    51:35
    We don´t have to wait for another power play for long. Henrik Odegaard (NOR) gets a minor penalty for interference and Swiss gonna have a power play.
     
    51:20
    Today's attendance is 3226. This is quite less, but Swiss and Norwegian fans do a great job with cheering their guys.
