The first day of games are already over, with Japan topping Austria in a dominant 6-1 win and Germany edging out a 3-2 victory over France in Group D while Switzerland had a 6-1 win of its own over Denmark and the Czech Republic shut out Norway 5-0.
The teams have two more games, going back-to-back on Saturday and Sunday so that they’ll play every team in their group before the points are tallied for the final standings. Teams earn 3 points for a regulation win, 2 points for a win in extra time and 1 point for a team that goes to extra time and loses.
