HERNING — Nick Olesen scored with 49 seconds remaining in regulation and co-host Denmark stunned star-studded Canada 2-1 in quarterfinal action Thursday at the world hockey championship.
Denmark, which had threatened throughout the third period, tied the game when Winnipeg Jets forward Nikolaj Ehlers scored with an extra attacker and less than three minutes remaining on the clock.
Travis Sanheim scored for Canada at 5:17 of the third period after Canada fired 30 shots at Danish goaltender Frederik Dichow over the first 40 minutes but came away with nothing to show for it.
An emboldened Denmark took it to Canada late in the game, with goaltender Jordan Binnington keeping the Canadians in it before the Danes finally broke through.
