Austria beats Latvia for 3rd straight win at ice hockey worlds, Norway shuts
out Italy
ZURICH (AP) --- Benjamin Nissner scored a power-play goal in the third period
to help Austria beat Latvia 3-1 at the ice hockey world championship on Tuesday.
Austria's third straight win put it level on points with Switzerland and
Finland atop Group A.
Tim Harnisch's second-period goal gave Austria a 1-0 lead before Latvia captain
Rudolfs Balcers tied it early in the third with his tournament-leading fourth
goal.
After Nissner's go-ahead goal, Vinzenz Rohrer added an empty-netter.
In Group B in Fribourg, Norway blanked Italy 4-0 for its second victory and
second shutout.
Eskild Bakke Olsen, Noah Steen, Christian Kaasastul and Tinus Luc Koblar had a
goal each while goaltender Henrik Haukeland stopped all 30 shots he faced.
Italy, a newcomer in the top division, remains without a point.
Britain plays Hungary in Zurich later Tuesday, and Slovakia meets Slovenia in
Fribourg.
