Norway secured a 4-3 overtime victory over Denmark in their final group stage match at the ice hockey world championship. The win helped Norway claim second place in the group and reach the quarterfinals for the first time in 14 years.
Max Krogdahl and Mikkel Aagaard, who won the Swedish championship together with Skellefteå earlier this season, faced each other as opponents. During the game the former teammates were involved in a scuffle after an incident involving a Danish player. Both later described the moment as mostly amusing once it was over.
