Devils Captain Nico Hischier got Switzerland on the board, 25 seconds into the middle frame, and had the primary assist on the game-tying goal. Another goal by the Swiss in the final five minutes of the second, gave them a 3-2 lead. Hischier added one more goal, an empty netter, in the final minute of the game to help Switzerland win 5-2.
Hischier finished the game with two goals and one assist, playing 18:11 in the win. In addition, the Devils Captain scored on two of his three shots in the contest. Siegenthaler played 21:46 and finished the game +1.
