Canada loses to Switzerland 3-2 in semis of men’s world championship
COPENHAGEN — Canada will not play for a gold medal at the world hockey championship for the first time in four years.
Bo Horvat and Colton Parayko were Canada’s scorers in a 3-2 loss to Switzerland on Saturday in the semifinal of the men’s international tournament. Struggling special teams were Canada’s undoing.
The Swiss took just one penalty, in the third period, then killed it off successfully.
“It would have been nice to get a power play earlier in the game,” said Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, a mainstay on Canada’s first unit throughout the tournament. “We were working for them and — you can’t say whether there were calls that were missed or not.”
