Canada loses to Switzerland, US qualifies for quarters after 5th win at ice hockey worlds

RIGA, Latvia (AP) — Switzerland rallied from a goal behind to top Canada 3-2 in a clash of two undefeated teams at the ice hockey world championship on Saturday. Tyler Toffoli put Canada ahead midway through the second period on a power play but the Swiss answered with goals from Nico Hischier and Dario Simon in the frame. Andres Ambuhl stretched the advantage to two in the final period, then Michael Carcone deflected in a slap shot by Brad Hunt for Canada to reduce the lead to one with 3:38 to go. Canada pulled goaltender Samuel Montembeault for an extra attacker but the Swiss held firm. The United States shut out Denmark 3-0 in Tampere to stay perfect. Alex Tuch scored one goal and added two assists to earn the U.S.
