Finland needed a win on Monday to give the team a bit more breathing room on Tuesday against Switzerland. Finland beat Denmark 3-1 thanks to two goals early in the third, but will still need at least one point against Switzerland to earn the last spot in Group A.

Finland goalie Emil Larmi was busy from the jump, making a big stop early on a Danish scoring chance. In a game with little scoring, Larmi couldn’t afford to have a bad period because the Finns entered Monday still needing a victory against a Danish team determined to shake things up.
Hannes Björninen was a force in front of the net, making himself difficult to move out around the crease. That paid off with the 1-0 goal when he outmuscled a Danish defender in front, picked up the loose puck on the rebound and got him team on the board. In a game where everyone looked somewhat out of sorts, Björninen showed up.
