Norway

Despite having the star player Mats Zuccarello, the Norwegian team has not been able to exceed expectations in the current tournament. The team has lost four out of their five matches. The only exception was an unexpected 2-0 victory against Denmark.

In their remaining games against Austria and Great Britain, the Scandinavians are considered favorites and need to secure their place in the elite division.

Austria

The Austrians started with two consecutive losses. While they struggled in the first match (1-5 against Denmark), they performed well against Switzerland but conceded the decisive goal just seconds before the final buzzer.

In their next game, Austria showed great character, narrowly losing to Canada in overtime. This was followed by a sensational victory over Finland, which keeps their playoff hopes alive. To advance, they need to defeat the Czech Republic, Norway, and Great Britain.
