World Cup-out threatens: Germany for now without NHL striker Reichel
After three victories at the start of the World Cup, there is bad news for the national ice hockey team. A top performer is missing against the top nations.
The German ice hockey team threatens the failure of NHL striker Lukas Reichel at the World Cup in Denmark and Sweden. “It doesn’t look so good. We can certainly assume that he will not play the next games,” said sports director Christian Künast on ZDF. He left open whether the attacker of the Chicago Blackhawks can be there again in the course of the tournament.
A failure of the 22-year-old would be a bitter loss for the selection of the German Ice Hockey Association. The former Berliner convinced in the three World Cup games with a goal and three templates. Reichel injured his shoulder on Tuesday 5-2 against Norway and had to get off the ice in the second third.
The German team meets Vice World Champion Switzerland after three victories on Thursday (4.20 p.m./ProSieben and Magenta Sport). After that, two more strong opponents are waiting in the USA and world champion Czech Republic. The preliminary round is duel with host Denmark.
