Germany Stuns Sweden in OT, Advances to Olympic Hockey 2018 Medal Rounds

Patrick Reimer scored 90 seconds into overtime, as Germany upset Sweden 4-3 in men's hockey to advance to the semifinals at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, on Wednesday.

The Germans surrendered a two-goal lead in the third period and were outshot 34-25 in the game, but goaltender Danny aus den Birken made 31 saves in the winning effort.

Germany is now assured its best finish since winning bronze in men's hockey at the 1976 Winter Olympics, and it will face Canada in the semis for the right to play for gold against either the Czech Republic or Olympic Athletes from Russia.
