Maple Leafs' Andersen backstops Denmark to upset win over Finland

Denmark put on a show for the home crowd with a 3-2 upset win over powerhouse Finland on Wednesday.

Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Frederik Andersen turned away 33 of the 35 Finish shots thrown his way as Denmark improved to 1-1-0-2, good enough for a share of fourth place in Group B.

Frans Nielsen, Oliver Bjorkstrand, and Nichlas Hardt scored the goals for Denmark, while Sebastian Aho and Mikael Granlund did the damage for Finland.

Finland entered the game with a perfect 3-0-0-0 record, having outscored the opposition 23-2.

Denmark will now enjoy a day off before returning to action Friday against Norway. Meanwhile, Finland will look to get back in the win column Saturday when it takes on Canada.
