Moritz Seider has a 75% chance of leaving the World Championship with a medal.
The Detroit Red Wings’ top defense prospect helped Germany top Switzerland in quarterfinal action at the event in Riga, Latvia, on Thursday. Seider topped 23 minutes as the Germans rallied from 2-0 to earn a 3-2 victory in a shootout.
“I think we were the better team from the beginning,” Seider told IIHF media. “There was no doubt that we were going to win that game. We can be very proud of ourselves, and now we go to the semis.”
The winner of the semifinal advances to the gold-medal game, while the loser advances to the bronze-medal game.
