Norway brought the pressure in the third period, but by then they were in a three-goal hole. They scored one and had other chances, but it wasn't enough.
After Norway won the first game of this series, Germany came back to win the next two. Germany will play in the top group next year in Toronto and Montreal, while Norway is relegated to Division 1.

German two-on-two rush into the zone, Filin passed to PATRICK KLOPPER, whose shot deflected off the stick of a Norwegian defenceman and through the legs of Svendsen. That could be a back-breaker. Assists: Vladislav Filin, Fabio Wagner.

Quality scoring chances: Germany 2 (3), Norway 1 (2).
The goal near the end of the period is huge, giving Germany a two-goal lead heading to the third period of a game which is must-win for both of these teams. The Norwegians were visibly upset as they left to their dressing room at the end of the period, as they have an uphill climb ahead of them.
3rd period starts at 13:33 CET, 07:33 EST.

Once again the Germans have cahsed in on a last-minute rush into the Norwegian zone. A beautiful three-way passing play finishes with DOMINIK KAHUN snapping the puck over Svendsen, who had committed himself to a shot from Draisaitl. Someone at the Norway bench smashes his stick on the boards afterward. Assists: Leon Draisaitl, Frederik Tiffels.

Norway seemed to have the better scoring chances that first period, but Germany scored the only goal late. This one looks like another close encounter between these two teams, and it might go down to the end to decide which team stays in the top group for next year.
2nd period starts at 12:45 CET, 06:45 EST.

Just when it seemed the period would end scoreless, the Germans attempted one last rush and it proved fruitful. FREDERIK TIFFELS carried the puck down the left wing and fired a wrister that beat Svendsen just inside the far post to the glove side. Assist: Leon Draisaitl.
