Detroit Red Wings' Moritz Seider to play for bronze at World Championship

Detroit Red Wings defense prospect Moritz Seider earned another point at the World Championship, but it wasn't enough to lead Germany into the gold-medal game.

Seider set up Matthias Plachta's in the second period of Saturday's second semifinal in Riga, Latvia, but the Finns held on to win, 2-1.

With Canada beating the U.S., 4-2, that set up Sunday's bronze medal game between Germany and the Americans. Wings defenseman Troy Stecher will play for gold against the Finns, who are the defending champions.

It's the first time since 1953 that Germany has a shot at a medal at the World Championship.
