Overview
- Germany beat France 5:1 after a dominant 3:0 opening period, with goals from Leon Draisaitl, Frederik Tiffels, JJ Peterka, Joshua Samanski and Nico Sturm.
- The quarterfinal against Slovakia is set for Wednesday at 12:10, though concerns persist over finishing, defensive gaps and special-teams efficiency.
- France changed to goalie Antoine Keller after the first period and he produced several key saves, while Philipp Grubauer steadied Germany in net.
- Germany’s men’s curling team fell 7:9 to previously winless Czechia after leading 5:2, with late mistakes — including by skip Marc Muskatewitz — turning the match.
- At 3–4, the curlers must defeat unbeaten Switzerland later Tuesday and China on Thursday and still need favorable results elsewhere to reach the semifinals.
