Switzerland beat Norway 5-1 in Oslo. The loss was Norway's fifth in five games and having been defeated twice by the same numbers to Slovakia during the weekend, this was their third straight 1-5 loss.

Norway were enforced by Jonas Holøs (Färjestad), perhaps the best defenseman in the Swedish playoffs, as well as Marius holtet from the same club.Holtet was honoured as the most valuable player for his team.

Norway played with nearly their best roster, but it didn't help much. Switzerland dominated the game in all its facets, technically as well as physically. Norway still have one more chance to find their stride - this will be against the same opponent tomorrow.
