Switzerland – Norway 6:0 (1:0, 3:0, 2:0)
The Switzerland received their semi-final sport in opposition to Norway comfortably and made it to the ultimate Ice Hockey World Championship withdrawn. The World Cup host gave the shock staff from Norway no probability of their 6-0 (1-0, 3-0, 2-0) win in Zurich.
Christoph Bertschy (18th), Denis Malgin (twenty fifth), Ken Jäger (thirty third), Damien Riat (thirty seventh), NHL striker Nico Hischier (forty fifth) and Théo Rochette (58th) scored for the Swiss celebrated their ninth win in the ninth game of the tournament.
Norway managed to defend himself in opposition to the World Cup co-favorites for a very long time. Christoph Bertschy redeemed the hosts together with his aim shortly earlier than the top of the primary third. The Swiss then turned up the warmth and the Norwegians had been fairly impressed by the aim they conceded. However, Swiss sports activities director Lars Weibel stated in an interview concerning the Scandinavian outsiders: “They’re on an equal footing with us.”
Switzerland is in a World Cup ultimate for the fifth time after 2013, 2018, 2024 and 2025; Up to now she has by no means been capable of win the title.
Canada – Finland 2:4 (2:1, 0:3, 0:0)
Finland wins 4-2 within the second semi-final in opposition to Canada and is again within the ultimate for the primary time since 2022 Ice Hockey World Championship. Patrik Puistola (4th), Aleksander Barkov (twenty first), Konsta Helenius (thirty second) and Aatu Räty (thirty third) scored for the Finns. The Canadians fought and scored two targets for his or her staff via Robert Thomas (ninth) and Dylan Holloway (fifteenth).
After the Finns led 4-2 in opposition to Canada after simply 40 minutes, the Canadians tried every little thing once more within the ultimate interval of the sport. However Finland defended strongly and hardly allowed any conclusions. Within the final two minutes, the Olympic silver medalists took their goalkeeper off the ice. However even in six-on-five conditions, Canada was hardly capable of end.
