In the late game of subgroup B, Kazakhstan conceded to Norway with 1: 3 (1: 0, 0: 1, 0: 2).

After exactly 16 minutes, Kazakhstan was nominated by Dmitry Shevchenko.

The Norwegians equalized the result in the 28th minute, when Thomas Valkve Ulsens stood out – 1: 1.

In the 42nd minute, the Norwegians, who could no longer enter the quarterfinals, took the lead in the quick attack. Matīass Trēteness tricked the second defender into the right wing, but then tricked the second defender with a deceptive movement, passing the goal to the defending defender Stefan Espelann, who had to hit the half-empty goal – 2: 1.

At the end of the game, the referees made two mistakes in favor of Kazakhstan. Less than five minutes before the end of the regular time, Martin Reimarks earned 2 + 10 minutes for an attack in the head area, where ten minutes could not be given. Mats Roseli Ulsen, who was in the minority, slipped against the goalkeeper, was delayed, but the referee did not record the delay with a stick.

However, the Norwegians won. From the right throw-in, Matiss Ulimbs, after a pass from Ken Andre Ulimba, scored from the goal and sent the puck into the far top corner – 3: 1.

Henrik Heukelann repelled 14 of the 15 shots in the winning goal.

In the first game of subgroup B, the USA beat Germany 2: 0 (0: 0, 1: 0, 1: 0), with Kels Petersen repelling 33 shots in the USA goal, while the Americans scored only 16 times.

The United States, along with Finland, has already secured participation in the quarterfinals.

In subgroup A, Sweden gave up the team of the Russian Olympic Committee (OKR) in the post-match litters with 2: 3 (1: 0, 0: 0, 1: 2) and will not play in the quarterfinals.

The only goal in the ninth minute of the first two periods was scored by Jesper Frederin.

Antons Sļepiševs and Aleksandrs Barabanovs defeated the Swedish lead in 12 seconds and gave them the leading role, but in the 56th minute, the exact victory of Viktor Ūlofson returned to the Swedes – 2: 2.

No goals were scored in overtime, and the winner was decided in the post-match throws, in which the OKR team was 3: 2. The victory “bull” was realized by Vladimir Tarasenko.

The Swedish national team did not reach the quarterfinals of the world championship for the first time in history.

In the first game of subgroup A, the Czech Republic played against Denmark, winning the post-match throws with 2: 1 (0: 1, 0: 0, 1: 1, 1: 0).

In group A, all four quarterfinals are already known. After six rounds, the team of the Russian Olympic Committee (OKR) is in the lead with 14 points, Switzerland and Slovakia have 12 points each, the Czech Republic has ten points each, and Sweden has seven battles. Denmark has already finished with nine points, while Belarus and Great Britain have four points each in six duels.
