LEKSAND - Germany's top line left it to the grinders to upset the U.S. on opening day, but they assumed full responsibility 24 hours later against Slovakia. The line with Philip Gogulla, Christoph Gawlik and Felix Schutz was behind all goals when Germany scored another upset by also beating Slovakia, 4-2. Schutz had one goal and two assists, Gawlik recorded 1+1 while Gogulla added one helper as the Germans find themselves unbeaten after two games, with five out of possible six points. Germany took a 2-0-lead in the first period, the Slovaks came back to tie it all up with two PP-tallies, before a pair of third-period goals again provided the Germans with a two-goal advantage that they managed to hold on to. German goaltender Sebastian Stefaniszin was again excellent stopping 29 shots as Slovakia outshot Germany 31-17. Underdog Germany is now in a very good position to reach the quarterfinals - a longshot before the tournament.
