Josh Samanski was the lone Oilers skater to produce a point in Monday’s results after coming up with a secondary assist late in the third period for Germany in a 6-1 defeat to hosts Switzerland at Swiss Life Arena in Zurich.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After a scoreless opening frame, the Swiss scored five in the second before it was 6-0 in the third when\u00a0Samanski made a great deflected pass on his backhand in the neutral zone to start the quick rush that led to Germany’s only goal with 4:13 left.<\/p>\n
Samanski was among the leaders in ice time for Germany, leading all of their forwards and trailing only behind Detroit Red Wings defenceman Moritz Seider for the team high.<\/p>\n
The Germans are winless and sit at the bottom of Group A with a minus-nine goal difference (11-2) as they prepare to face Isaac Howard and the United States on Wednesday, who fell 6-2 to Finland on Monday morning.<\/p>\n
\u00a0Howard was sixth among U.S. forwards after finishing minus-two with 13:55 of ice time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Josh Samanski was the lone Oilers skater to produce a point in Monday’s results after coming up with…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":679017,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194294],"tags":[49,48,23752],"class_list":["post-679016","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-edmonton","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-edmonton"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/679016","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=679016"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/679016\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/679017"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=679016"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=679016"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=679016"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
