St. Petersburg, Russia
— Germany beat the United States 3-2 on a last-minute goal by Korbinian Holzer at the world ice hockey championship on Sunday, putting American qualification for the quarterfinals in doubt.
Anaheim Ducks defenseman Holzer hasn’t scored for the last two seasons in the NHL, but he made no mistake with a perfectly positioned shot from the blue line to beat U.S. goaltender Mike Condon.
Red Wings forward Dylan Larkin was scoreless with four shots on goal.
It was a bitter ending for a U.S. team which had dominated puck possession, recording 33 shots against 14 for the Germans.
