Switzerland's national hockey team delivered a decisive 3-0 victory over the United States in their Group B match at the Ice Hockey World Championship. This marked the USA's first loss of the tournament, disrupting their winning streak after previous victories against Denmark and Hungary. Damien Riat opened the scoring for Switzerland, followed by Jonas Siegenthaler and Dean Kukan. Leonardo Genoni, the Swiss goaltender, ensured the shutout by stopping 23 shots. Swiss forward Kevin Fiala contributed an assist in his first appearance, following his exit from the NHL playoffs with the Los Angeles Kings.

Despite the loss, the U.S. goalie Joey Daccord made 24 saves, showcasing his skills against a formidable Swiss offense. The Americans, who previously dominated their opponents, will be looking to bounce back in their upcoming match against Norway. This loss raises questions about their defense and adjustments needed moving forward in the tournament.
