    Goal for Team Germany!


    With the first opportunity of the overtime the Germans win the match and get the extra point! Marcel Goc won the puck behind the French net with a hard check and gave a perfect pass towards the slot from where CHRISTIAN EHRHOFF fired the puck into the net past the chanceless Huet!

    Assisted by Marcel Goc.
