Germany vs. Slovakia
The opening match saw two teams coming off of day one losses, but considering their competition, it could be argued that neither team got off to a bad start. Slovakia kept it close against Sweden right to the end, while Germany cut the USA lead to just one goal twice in the second period. Slovakia got a big boost coming into this game, with returning defenseman Luka Radivojevic rejoining the lineup after an illness sidelined him for the opener.
