DAY 11 RECAP: Norway Stuns Czechs to Clinch Quarters; USA and Germany Secure Crucial Wins
Day 11 of the 2026 IIHF Men's World Championship on May 25th delivered massive drama in the final push for the playoff rounds, headlined by a historic upset in Group B. Over in Fribourg, Norway pulled off a monumental shocker, stunning tournament heavyweights Czechia 4–1 to officially punch their ticket to the quarter-finals. The victory not only guaranteed the Norwegians a spot in the final eight but also locked down first place in Group B for Canada. Meanwhile, in Zurich's Group A bracket, the United States took care of business in a high-scoring affair, defeating Hungary 7–4 to keep their playoff hopes alive. Ryan Leonard and Justin Faulk both netted two goals apiece, while Matthew Tkachuk added a crucial marker as the Americans built a commanding 5–1 lead and held off a late third-period push by the gritty Hungarians.
The rest of Monday's action brought a mix of relief, qualification scenarios, and finality to the preliminary stage. In Group A, Germany closed out their round-robin schedule with a solid 6–3 victory over Great Britain, leaving them with 10 points and forcing them to scoreboard-watch on Tuesday to see if they make the cut. Joshua Samanski scored his second of the tournament just 17 seconds into the third period, while defenceman Leon Gawanke blasted a heavy shot from the point to cap off the German offense and send the winless British squad down to Division I for 2027. Over in Group B, Slovenia secured their safety in the top division with a tight 3–2 victory over Italy, courtesy of a brilliant two-goal performance from Jan Drozg. The regulation loss leaves the Italians stuck at the bottom of the group with just a single point, keeping Sweden's playoff hopes hanging by a thread ahead of a must-win Tuesday showdown against Slovakia.
