Oscar Fisker Molgaard Sends Montour and Evans Packing; Beniers, Daccord and Eyssimont Defeat Tolvanen In Quarter Finals Of World Championship
Seattle Kraken's Adam Larsson, Oscar Fisker Molgaard, Matty Beniers, Joey Daccord and Michael Eyssimont have advanced to the semi-finals of the 2025 IIHF Men's World Championship as Eeli Tolvanen, Philipp Grubauer, Brandon Montour and Ryker Evans depart. Grubauer and Germany battled Fisker Molgaard and Denmark for the final spot in Group B on the last day of the preliminary rounds. Germany had the lead heading into the third period, but a late goal from the Winnipeg Jets' Nikolaj Ehlers tied the game, and Denmark would go on to secure their place in the knockout rounds with a shootout win. Another late Ehlers goal would eliminate another pair of Kraken players. Montour, Evans and Canada topped Group A, but because Denmark are hosts, Canada had to leave Sweden for their quarterfinals matchup. Ehlers scored a tying goal 2:17 remaining in the game, and Denmark would take the lead by away of Nick Olesen, scoring with 49 seconds remaining. Montour finished the tournament scoring two goals and nine points in eight games, while Evans added two assists in eight games. Fisker Molgaard and Denmark will take on Switzerland in the semi-finals. Beniers, Eyssimont, Daccord and Team USA took quick care of Finland in their quarterfinals matchup, erasing a 2-1 deficit en route to a 5-2 victory. Beniers recorded an assist on the tying goal, and in a losing effort, Tolvanen scored his seventh goal, finishing the tournament with seven goals and nine points in eight games. Larsson and Team Sweden were set for a difficult matchup against Czechia, but sprang out to a 3-0 lead in the first period and never looked back. Leo Carlsson and Lucas Raymond led the way for Sweden, scoring twice before Filip Forsberg put the game out of reach with an empty-net goal. Sweden will take on the Americans in the semi-final, ensuring a Kraken player will compete for a gold medal on Sunday.
