Everyone expected Sweden to win this one, and they delivered. Thomas Lillie faced a constant barrage of shots in his second World Juniors game against Sweden, and his first start.
Thirteen seconds into the game, Adrian Kempe rocketed a shot over Lillie, and it looked like the Danes would be utterly overrun. Matias Lassen, suspended for a head shot on Switzerland's Dario Meyer in the first game of the tournament, had another rough period, as Kemppe swept around him on the first goal.
Alexander True took a double minor at 8:03 for both a rough and a hold, and then the game was delayed as the ice crew had to fill a sizeable hole at centre ice.
