Eurolanche will keep you up-to-date with an everyday summary of WCH game days.A total of four games were played on game day number eight, with 4 Avalanche players in game action. All four players in action were defensemen, namely Jan Hejda, Jonas Holos, Markus Lauridsen and Zach Redmond.
Czech Republic - Austria 4:0 (0:0, 3:0, 1:0)
Jan Hejda had a great outing, as he recorded three plus-points, while also getting an assist on the second Czech goal, after putting teammate Martin Zatovic on a breakaway after a beautiful break-out pass out of his own defensive zone.
Slovenia - Norway 1:3 (0:1, 1:2, 0:0)
Jonas Holos continued his great in-form run with a two-point outing, first assisting on Patrick Thoresen's opening goal and then scoring a goal of his own to make it 1:3. The goal was Holos' first of the tournament. He also led Norway in ice-time and was deservedly named Norway's man of the match.
Germany - Latvia 2:1 (0:1, 0:0, 2:0)
USA - Denmark 1:0 (0:0, 1:0, 0:0)
Zach Redmond played on USA's bottom defensive pairing, while Markus Lauridsen played in his regular position. Both players failed to record a point in a game dominated by both goalies, which ultimately saw only a single goal. Redmond was the more active one of the duo, with notable moments on both ends of the ice.
