Norway brought the pressure in the third period, but by then they were in a three-goal hole. They scored one and had other chances, but it wasn't enough.
After Norway won the first game of this series, Germany came back to win the next two. Germany will play in the top group next year in Toronto and Montreal, while Norway is relegated to Division 1.
Svendsen coming out again for the faceoff in the German zone.
Svendsen back in the net.
Joachim Svendsen remains in the Norway net for now.
They kept up the pressure and finally broke through. Henriksen with the initial shot, Cupper the save but MAGNUS FISCHER got the rebound and flipped it over him. Assists: Anders Henriksen, Simen Nielsen.
