(Salvatore Di Nolfi/Keystone via AP) After a goalless opening period, the United States proceeded to secure its place in the quarterfinals of the ice hockey world championship with a 6-1 rout of Kazakhstan on Sunday. The Americans are tied with the Czech Republic on 14 points in Group B, trailing leader Switzerland on 16. The U.S. completes its group stage on Tuesday against the Czechs, who have two more games to play. 'I thought we were ready to play out of the gate,' U.S. head coach Ryan Warsofsky said. "We need to continue to build and get ready for what will be a big challenge on Tuesday against the Czechs.' Despite an unproductive first period in Herning, the U.S. jumped to a commanding five-goal lead in the second. Frank Nazar broke the deadlock 6:58 into the period with a shot from the left circle above the glove of Sergei Kudryavtsev. The forward added two assists later in the game. Defenseman Jackson Lacombe wristed a shot from the blue line through heavy traffic to double the lead with 8:14 to go in the second period. The next two goals came in the span of 58 seconds. Forward Tage Thompson scored his fifth at the tournament — after receiving a pass from defenseman Zeev Buium — to make it 3-0 with 6:00 left. Matty Beniers increased the advantage to four from the left circle before Michael Kesselring scored with a high shot from a tight angle from the boards 56 seconds before the end of the period. U.S. defensive star Zach Werenski skated toward the goal before beating backup goalie Maxim Pavlenko who came on at the beginning of the final period. Goaltender Jeremy Swayman made 16 saves for the U.S. Switzerland demolished Hungary 10-0 and will play its last Group B game against Kazakhstan on Tuesday. In Stockholm, a 5-1 victory over Slovakia lifted Latvia to fourth place in Group A. Also in Stockholm, Austria beat Slovenia 3-2 in a shootout to keep alive its hopes of reaching the quarterfinals for the first time. Austria is tied in fifth with Slovakia in Group A. The top four teams from each group will advance. © Copyright 2025 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

(Salvatore Di Nolfi/Keystone via AP) HERNING, Denmark (AP) — Sven Andrighetto scored four goals to lift Switzerland to a 5-1 victory over Germany at the ice hockey world championship on Thursday. Switzerland moved atop Group B in Herning with 10 points. Germany trails by a point in second after registering its first loss. Advertisement After Damien Riat opened the scoring 4:25 into the middle period, Andrighetto needed a span of 9:04 to complete a hat trick and build a four-goal lead in the frame. He added with his fourth — and second on a power play — in the final period. Swiss goaltender Leonardo Genoni made 21 saves. Following problems with the quality of the ice in Herning, organizers extended the time for breaks between the periods from 15 to 17 minutes. On Tuesday, play had to be suspended in the opening period of a game between Germany and Norway and again in the middle period due to a hole in the ice. In Stockholm, Finland routed Slovenia 9-1 to move to the third place in Group A with eight points. Slovenia remains without a point. Eeli Tolvanen scored four goals for Finland. Later Thursday, Canada meets Austria in Stockholm, and defending champion Czech Republic plays Hungary in Herning. ___ AP sports:
