WATCH ⟩ Austrian hockey players make a fantastic comeback against world champion Canada

In the Group B match in Ostrava, France beat Poland 4:2 (2:0, 2:2, 0:0).

Latvian forward Raivjas Anson’s teammate in the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton “Penguins” club of the American Hockey League (AHL), Jistēns Adamo, in his first game in this year’s championship, scored 2:0 for France in the first third, but in the 28th minute, after two goals scored by the majority, the French were already in the lead with 4 :0.

The Poles recovered two goals before the second intermission, but the result did not change after that.

Stefans da Costa (1+1) and Ioans Ovitū (0+2) also scored two points each, while Sebastien Ilonen saved 23 shots in goal.

It has already been reported that Latvia beat Kazakhstan 2:0 (0:0, 2:0, 0:0) in this group.

In Group B, Sweden has nine points in three games, Latvia has seven, Slovakia has five, the USA and France have four, Germany and Kazakhstan have three points each, while Poland has one point.

The Latvian national team will play their next match against Germany on Wednesday, at 17:20 Latvian time.

The 16 teams are divided into two groups of eight teams each, which guarantees seven games for each team. The top four teams in each group will continue their medal fight in the quarter-finals, but the weaker teams in both groups will leave the stronger division, with Hungary and Slovenia in the top 16 next year.

Last year, the Canadians triumphed in the world championships, beating Germany in the decisive match, while Latvia won the bronze medals, defeating the USA national team in overtime.

The World Championship will take place in the Czech cities of Prague and Ostrava until May 26.
