Latvia headed to relegation round after world junior loss to Slovakia
Latvia will be fighting for their right to play in the 2024 tournament in Sweden after losing 3-0 to Slovakia on Friday.
Slovakia will play Switzerland for a shot to move up the standings on Saturday. Latvia will play either Germany or Austria, with the two teams meeting for a chance to avoid relegation later today. The Slovaks still has a chance to win Group B with a win against Switzerland and an American regulation win over Finland. A win over the Swiss guarantees Slovakia second place, regardless of what happens to USA and Finland.
The first goal came at 17:52 in the opening period. Alex Ciernik, a 2023 NHL Draft prospect, took Peter Repcik’s feed and got it underneath a sprawling Patriks Berzins to give the Slovaks a 1-0 advantage.Latvia woke up for the second, outshooting Slovakia 16-6, but Adam Gajan stood tall, stopping them all. Eventually, Latvia’s inability to beat Gajan ended up hurting them, as Simon Nemec blasted a shot off the lower blocker of Berzins and in for the 2-0 goal, one that ultimately sunk Latvia.
The Latvians pulled their goalie with four minutes left to try and score, but Filip Mesar fired the puck into an empty net to make it 3-0, putting an end to the contest.
