Nikolaj Ehlers: Denmark Beating Canada ‘One Of The Biggest Things I've Done In My Career'
'I don't have any words for this,' Nikolaj Ehlers said after the game, almost in disbelief. 'To beat Canada at home and go through is one of the biggest things I've done in my career, so it's amazing.' Ehlers is the only active NHL player on this Danish team. In fact, he was playing for the Winnipeg Jets last Sunday. That loss to the Dallas Stars was disappointing, but opportunities to play in the World Championship on home ice don't come long often so he didn't hesitate. He flew overseas and joined the team in time for Denmark's last group-stage game on Tuesday against Germany – a shootout win which got the team into the quarterfinals. The Danes knew they were huge underdogs against Canada but had a clear plan for the game, and executed it nearly to perfection. 'We knew from the beginning that they were going to have a lot of pressure on our net, so we just tried to play on the inside and minimize their chances, and I thought our goalie (Frederik) Dichow was great today,' said Ehlers. 'Then we managed somehow to score two goals at the end.' EHLERS! 😤🔥 #MensWorlds #IIHF @dkishockey — IIHF (@IIHFHockey) May 22, 2025 It was Ehlers who scored the equalizer – a flick of the wrist from the point that went through a screen and goaltender Jordan Binnington with 2:17 to play. But that wasn't all. With under a minute to go, Nicklas Jensen found Nick Olesen alone in front of the net, and he put the puck up and over a fallen Binnington for the game-winner. GAME. CHANGER. Nick Olesen sends @dkishockey through! 🇩🇰💥 #MensWorlds #IIHF — IIHF (@IIHFHockey) May 22, 2025 'Unbelievable,' said Ehlers. 'I was almost crying on the ice, being at home in front of the Danish fans, hearing the Danish national anthem, it was great.' For the first time ever, Denmark is in the World Championship semifinals so, as much as they'd like to, they can't celebrate this win too much. They've got a flight to Stockholm in the morning and a game against Switzerland on Saturday afternoon. Switzerland beat Denmark 5-2 in the group stage, but that was before Ehlers joined the team. 'I mean, we just beat Canada, so I guess we have to prepare for that game now,' he figures. 'We'll celebrate for an hour or two and then get ready for the next game.' Photo © Bob Frid-Imagn Images 'Disappointed' Sidney Crosby: 'We Couldn't Get It Done Here Tonight' When Sidney Crosby said he'd play for Canada, followed by Nathan MacKinnon, Marc-André Fleury and others, it was supposed to be 2015 all over again … or, at the very least, the team was supposed to be playing for a medal this weekend. Instead, Crosby was left trying to figure out what happened at the end of Thursday's 2-1 quarterfinal loss to Denmark.

Ice hockey-Denmark's 'Miracle Of Midtjylland' sends Canada crashing out
HERNING, Denmark : Denmark's miraculous comeback from a goal down to beat superpower Canada in the Midtjylland town of Herning to reach the semi-finals of the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) World Championship was a result so seismic that not even the Danish players could believe what they had done. A goal down with time running out, the Danes scored twice in the final three minutes on Thursday, including Nick Olesen's last-minute winner, to complete a stunning comeback that will live long in the annals of Danish sport. "It's completely surreal. I'm in a bubble right now, it feels like a dream. We've beaten, in my opinion, the best national team in the world. For every Danish ice hockey player, they have about a thousand," Danish captain Jesper Jensen Aabo told national broadcaster DR. "It shouldn't be possible, to be completely honest... I don't think there was anyone in this arena who believed it before the game but we believed in the locker room. We grabbed the tiny straw that was there, and we've made ice hockey history." The Canadians came into the game as overwhelming favourites but the Danes shredded their lofty reputation with strong defending and a never-say-die attitude. "It's hard to put into words. It's not so much about my goal, it's about the fact that we all fought our butts off for the whole 60 minutes. We beat Canada and that's the biggest thing in my career," winning goal-scorer Olesen said. "Hearing the roar that went through the hall when I scored, I can only repeat that it is probably the greatest thing I have experienced in my ice hockey career," he added. The reward for the Danes is a last-four game against Switzerland in Stockholm on Saturday, with Sweden facing Team USA in the other semi-final.

Denmark stuns Canada, US beats Finland to reach semifinals at ice hockey worlds
HERNING, Denmark (AP) — Nick Olesen scored with 49 seconds left and Denmark stunned Canada 2-1 at the ice hockey world championship Thursday to advance to the semifinals. Denmark had tied it with 2:17 remaining when Nikolaj Ehlers scored through traffic in only his second game at the tournament following his Winnipeg Jets being eliminated from the NHL playoffs. The Danes had pulled goaltender Frederik Dichow for the extra attacker in the sold-out arena in Herning before Ehlers struck. Canada outshot Denmark 30-11 in the first two periods but couldn't solve Dichow, who made 39 saves in all, until 5:17 into the third when captain Sidney Crosby fed Travis Sanheim to score into the roof of the net. Canada was outshot 22-10 in the final period, though. Denmark has only two NHL players at the worlds, while Canada has only two who don't play at the NHL. The semifinals are set for Saturday: Denmark will play Switzerland; and the United States will face Sweden. Earlier on Thursday, the U.S. advanced by beating Finland 5-2 backed by Conor Garland's two power-play goals Trailing 2-1 in the middle period, the Americans needed 71 seconds to turn things around when defenseman Zeev Buium put home a rebound at 23:53 before Garland's second goal restored the U.S. lead. 'I really liked how we stayed with it and built as the game wore on,' U.S. head coach Ryan Warsofsky said. 'We got off to a bit of a slow start, but really found our game as time wore on. I give our guys a lot of credit as they beat an excellent hockey team today.' Garland had given the U.S. a 1-0 lead 4:50 into the game when he received a cross-ice pass from Logan Cooley to beat goalie Juuse Saros from the right circle. Finland tied it at 1-1 on Eeli Tolvanen's power-play goal. Patrik Puistola scored from the slot on another power play 7:46 into the second period for Finland to take a 2-1 lead. The Americans added two more goals in the third. Shane Pinto scored the fourth 5:52 into the final period and captain Clayton Keller finished the scoring into an empty net. The U.S. team hasn't won a medal since taking bronze in 2021. The Finns have been waiting for a medal since they won gold in 2022. Sweden delighted the home crowd in the Avicii Arena in Stockholm by eliminating defending champion Czech Republic with a 5-2 victory. Lucas Raymond and Leo Carlsson led the co-host with two goals each. Earlier in Herning, last year's runner-up Switzerland advanced by blanking Austria 6-0. __ AP sports:
