HERNING, Denmark -- Nick Olesen scored with 49 seconds left as Denmark stunned Canada 2-1 at the ice hockey world championship Thursday to advance to the semifinals.
"I have no words, it's unbelievable," Olesen said after Denmark reached the last four for the first time. "The fans here were cheering for us the whole game and they helped us get the win. It's crazy."
Denmark, in the sold-out arena in Herning, had tied it with 2:17 remaining when Nikolaj Ehlers scored through traffic in only his second game at the tournament following his Winnipeg Jets being eliminated from the NHL playoffs.
