PRAGUE (AP) — JJ Peterka scored twice in Germany’s 8-1 rout of Latvia at the ice hockey world championship on Wednesday.

Germany, last year’s runner-up, netted five times in the second period in Ostrava to hand last year’s bronze medallist its first loss.

The victory was Germany’s second in four Group B games.

Dominik Kahun, Kai Wissmann, Leonhard Pfoderl, Parker Tuomie, Marc Michaelis and Nico Sturm also scored and Philipp Grubauer made 20 saves.

Markuss Komuls got Latvia on the board in the final minute of the second period.
