Group A of the Under-20 Ice Hockey World Championships started with a complete backlash when Sweden hammered the scoreboard 11-0 in the match against Austria.
After the opening set, Sweden led the match “only” 2–0, but things started to happen in the second set. In the second set, Sweden scored six goals in just over 13 minutes and was already 8–0 ahead.
After that, the pace slowed down again. There were three hits in the third period.
The power points were distributed fairly evenly to the Swedish players. No player got more than three power points.
The numbers are not exceptionally high in the Under-20 World Cup. For example, in the previous games, Canada beat Slovakia 11–1 in the first group.
