Detroit Red Wings' Marco Kasper in, Moritz Seider out at World Championship quarterfinals
Marco Kasper is showing he delivers when it matters – a great sign for the Detroit Red Wings as they try to once again become a playoff team. They blew it for a ninth straight time this year, but what that did was free up Kasper to join his native Austria at the second-best springtime hockey tournament, the World Championship, which is nearing the end. Advertisement Kasper had an assist in Austria's last game of the preliminary round, May 20, leading to a 6-1 victory over Latvia in Stockholm, Sweden. Neither team is a hockey powerhouse, but it was only two years ago that Latvia upset Sweden in the quarterfinals en route to a bronze medal. More: Think it has been maddening stretch for Red Wings? Maple Leafs show how hard it is to win For Austria, this is their first playoff appearance since 1994. The Austrians' next challenge is taking on central European neighbor Switzerland, which claimed the top spot in Group B. Canada claimed Group A on the strength of taking down Sweden, 5-3, and will meet Denmark. Advertisement The Danes, playing at Jyske Bank Boxen in Herning, Denmark, rallied from a 1-0 deficit against Germany to win, 2-1 in a penalty shootout. That bounces Wings' defenseman Seider and his Germans from the tournament. Denmark heads to the quarterfinals for the first time since 2016. The Danes won their last three games, while the Germans lost for a fourth consecutive game. The teams came into the match tied at nine points in the standings, meaning the last quarterfinal spot in Group B would be settled between the two. In other quarterfinals, the Swedes, whose roster includes Wings Lucas Raymond and Erik Gustafsson, faces Czechia, and the U.S. will play Finland. Raymond had an assist in the loss to Canada to pick up his eighth point in seven preliminary games. The tournament, split between Stockholm and Herning through the quarterfinals, holds the semifinals on May 24, and the medal games on May 25. Weekend games will all be in Stockholm. Advertisement It has been an excellent tournament for Kasper, who has four goals and three assists in seven games in the round-robin format. Austria was in Group A along with powerhouses Sweden, Canada and Finland. Originally drafted at No. 8 in 2022, Kasper used his rookie season to earn a regular role in the lineup, finishing with 19 goals and 18 assists in 77 games.

Lucas Raymond dominates, Red Wings free agent target clutch in World Championship quarters
Lucas Raymond scored twice to lead Sweden into the semifinals of the World Championship, but a Detroit Red Wings teammate stalled out in the quarterfinals. And in what would turn out to be the most thrilling quarterfinal Thursday, May 22, Denmark upset hockey powerhouse Canada, 2-1, before a jubilant home crowd at Jyske Bank Boxen in Herning, Denmark. Advertisement There was nothing close about the earlier game in Herning: Marco Kasper's Austrians were routed, 6-0, by central European neighbor Switzerland. At Avicii Arena in Stockholm, Sweden, the home team beat Czechia, 5-2. In the earlier quarterfinal there, the U.S. beat Finland, 5-2. The U.S. next plays Sweden on Saturday, May 24, while Denmark faces Switzerland. ANALYSIS: Denmark's Nikolaj Ehlers is compelling watch for Red Wings at Worlds Lucas Raymond of of Sweden celebrates with William Karlsson after scoring 3-0 during the 2025 Ice Hockey World Championship match between Sweden and Czechia at Avicii Arena in Stockholm, Sweden on May 22, 2025. Austria's loss doesn't diminish how much Kasper accomplished. The Detroit Red Wings forward, coming off a standout second half of his rookie season, finished with four goals and three assists at the World Championship. It was a great opportunity for him to show how he performs in high-pressure games, and he more than held his own. Advertisement Raymond's output in the quarters gives him four goals and six assists after eight games. Sweden, Switzerland and the U.S. all held up as the higher seeds in their quarterfinals, and all the games ended with three-goals-or-more differentials. But Canada could not hold up as the favorites. It was a scoreless game until Travis Sanheim gave Canada the lead five minutes into the third period. That stood until the final minutes when Nikolaj Ehlers — a potential free agent target for the Wings this summer — scored a second straight clutch goal since joining Denmark for the final game of the preliminary round. Nick Oleson scored with 49 seconds to play in regulation to send home the Canadians, whose NHL-laden roster included Sidney Crosby, Nathan MacKinnon and Jordan Binnington.
