In a thrilling overtime spectacle, the United States emerged victorious against Switzerland to claim their first Ice Hockey World Championship title since 1933. Tage Thompson scored the decisive goal to secure a 1-0 win for the team coached by Ryan Warsofsky, putting an end to Switzerland's fourth final defeat in tournament history.
The game remained scoreless through regulation time, with the US team maintaining constant pressure on the Swiss. Goaltender Leonardo Genoni displayed impressive skill early on, keeping his team competitive. A penalty shot attempt by Conor Garland of the Vancouver Canucks was thwarted by Genoni in the second period.
Nerves crept in among the Swiss players as they struggled to contain the agile Americans in the middle period. Goals from the USA outnumbered Switzerland's, even when the US team found itself a man short on the ice.
Switzerland had made an impressive run to the final, having defeated Austria (6-0) and Denmark (7-0) earlier in the tournament. However, they ultimately fell short against a formidable US team. In overtime, Thompson capitalized on the opportunity, scoring against Genoni to close out the 88th Ice Hockey World Championship.
Host Sweden secured third place with a 6-2 victory over Denmark, finishing the tournament with a disappointing bronze medal. Despite their achievement, the Swedes were expected to perform better, as favored favorites in the competition. Denmark's semifinal appearance marked their most significant achievement at a world championship. They defeated the German team in the preliminary round and caused an upset by defeating Canada 2-1 in the quarterfinals.
