Denmark completed one of the greatest upsets in IIHF World Championship history in the quarter-finals as Nikolaj Ehlers and Nick Olesen scored twice late on to see off tournament favorites Canada.
Their reward? A semi-final clash against the tournament's most dominant two-way team: Switzerland. Under coach Patrick Fischer, the Swiss have looked unstoppable - aside from an overtime defeat against Czechia - and their 6-0 quarter-final win against Austria was more than evidence of this.
Tyler Moy has been their creator-in-chief. If he is on song for the semi-final, it is hard to look past the Eisgenossen. They arrive at the Avicci Arena as 1/5 favorites.
