Germany edges Slovakia 4-3 in OT at world juniors

EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) — Mario Zimmerman scored a power-play goal four minutes into overtime, lifting Germany to a 4-3 win over Slovakia on Monday night in the world junior hockey championships.
Tim Stutzle scored twice and the Ottawa Senators’ prospect helped set up Zimmerman’s goal that gave Germany its first win in the tournament.
Florian Elias also scored for Germany and Simon Gnyp had three assists.
Michal Mrazik had two goals for Slovakia, and Oleksiy Mykluka also scored.
Despite dressing just five defensemen and nine forwards, Germany finished with a 32-25 edge on shots.
It’s been a difficult tournament for Germany. Nine players tested positive for COVID-19 after arriving in Edmonton, preventing the team from running a real practice until Christmas Day and leaving the squad short-handed for preliminary round games.
