After six games played, Belarus has collected a single victory, and it came as a bit of a surprise against Tre Kronor.
On Sunday afternoon, the team's fifth loss came, when they were zeroed by Switzerland.
Already 36 seconds in, Christoph Bertschy cracked the goal zero, and before the first period was over, the Swiss had extended the lead to 2-0.
Just like in the first, the red and whites started the midnight with an early goal.
Sven Andrighetto, who previously accounted for one of the tournament's worst misses, put third behind a disguised Konstantin Shostak.
The match ended 6-0 to the Swiss, who thus move up to third place in Tre Kronor's group, on twelve points - just like the first (Russian team) and the second (Slovakia).
Switzerland has impressed during the World Cup, and according to SVT's expert Mikael Renberg, it can go a long way.
- The big question is whether they can pay that price ... it remains to be seen.
They have enough skilled players, they have a good system, they are well coached. They must realize that they have a chance to win this year, says Mikael Renberg.
