Last game of the tournament for Team Denmark ended in disappointment as dominant Czech team completely outplayed and outshot its opponent. Czechs had 45 shots on goal, compared to just 12 Danish, and put themselves on course for victory with first goal after just 17 seconds.

Great Britain

France

Home team succesfully passed another hurdle in form of a resilient British team. France dominated the play but was unable to convert many shots into goals. Brits equalized early in the third period, but the hosts scored three goals in four minutes to claim a victory.
