Andersen, Ehlers Guide Denmark To First Win
The Danes struggled out of the gates, dropping their first two games to Germany and the U.S. before ousting Latvia on Sunday to cement third place in Group C. That proved to be a crucial victory for seeding purposes, setting Denmark up for a clash with the eighth-ranked Czechs while Latvia is left to contend with the seventh-place Swedes.
Andersen backstopped Sunday’s win with a sterling 33 saves on 35 shots, moving to 1-1-0 with a .918 SV% following a 23-for-26 showing in Denmark’s debut defeat to Germany.
Ahead of him, Ehlers has produced three points in three games while logging 13:13 TOI on average, both of which rank second among Danish forwards. The 30-year-old, who celebrated his birthday on Saturday, tallied his first Olympic goal against Latvia, which proved to be the game-winner.
Next Game: Tuesday, Feb. 17 vs. (8) Czechia | 10:40 a.m. ET | Qualifying Round
