Defending champion Canada loses 3-2 to Davos at Spengler Cup

DAVOS, Switzerland – Andres Ambuhl scored the winning goal late in the third period as HC Davos beat defending champion Canada 3-2 Saturday at the Spengler Cup.

Canada falls to 1-1 and must now play the Rochester Americans in a quarter-final on Sunday while Davos advances to the semifinals.

Ambuhl’s goal gave the hosts a 3-1 lead with less than three minutes to go in regulation.

But Canada kept up the pressure, and Byron Ritchie made it a one-goal game with less than two minutes to go.

Canada pressed for the tying goal but was unable to beat Davos goaltender Mika Noronen.

Darren Haydar had Canada’s other goal.
