<p>In a major surprise, forward @Nikolaj Ehlers and Denmark handed Canada its second loss of the 2022 IIHF World Championship on Monday.</p>
<p>Ehlers, who faced off against Winnipeg Jets teammates @Pierre-Luc Dubois and @Adam Lowry, helped his home country secure a 3-2 victory. Their first-ever over Team Canada &#8211; making this one of the biggest upsets of the tournament.</p>
<p>The game-winner, registered at the 12:11 mark of the third period, was credited to Denmark forward Mathias Bau. This power-play marker, however, wouldn&#8217;t have been possible if not for a perfect pass by Ehlers &#8211; serving as his sixth point of this year&#8217;s event &#8211; from below the red line.</p>

<p>While in a losing effort, Dubois and Lowry each recorded an assist during this contest. Unfortunately, those helpers weren&#8217;t enough to rescue their country from defeat.</p>
<p>With this victory, Denmark improves to 4-0-0-2 with 12 points in the tournament. Canada, on the other hand, falls to an identical record of 4-0-0-2. As a result, both countries currently sit tied for third place in Group A.</p>
<p>The final day of the round-robin will take place on Tuesday. Canada will attempt to snap its two-game losing skid versus France. Denmark will wrap up its initial schedule against Slovakia.</p>
