Thanks to four power-play goals from Jeff Tambellini, Djurgarden Stockholm ran roughshod over HC Davos for their second-straight shutout win in Group B. Read more in Gamecentre. 

HC Davos, with a large throng of fans in tow, came into Stockholm's Hovet to duel with the local team for the Group B lead, but Djurgarden made short work of them and won 6-0. Especially deadly was Djurgarden's power play, which connected four times – all by Jeff Tambellini, and twice with Davos down two men.

Tambellini accounted for both Djurgarden power-play strikes in the opening period. Just 20 seconds after Daniel Rahimi went off for the game's first penalty, he banged in the loose puck on a goalmouth scramble in front of Gilles Senn. Later in the period, while on a 5-on-3, they moved the puck around the Davos zone beautifully and Jusso Ikonen found Tambellini at the back door for the easy tap-in.

"It was a tight game at the start so it was good to get the lead," Tambellini said afterwards. "Our young player Jusso made a nice play for the second one, he found me there at the side of the net, so it was good to get ahead of them right away and get them behind the eight-ball. We were focusing on our start and were lucky to be up 2-0 after a period."

Tambellini completed his hat-trick in the 25th minute – again 5-on-3, when his attempted pass across went off a Davos defenceman and in. From there, they were in firm control of the game. Gustav Possler and Calle Ridderwall added goals late in the second period and Tambellini scored his fourth power-play goal of the game in the third to put it away.

"There's not much to say – it was embarrassing," said Davos captain Andres Ambuehl. "Our penalties killed us and their PP was great. We took stupid penalties and that cost us the game."

For their part, Davos had 24 shots on Adam Reideborn, but Davos coach Arno del Curto didn't think they did enough to make life difficult for him. “Djurgarden was ready, 100%. They're a young, hardworking team and we were thinking that we were in the Semi-Finals last year so it would be easy. We also had a lot of chances but we were playing to nice. We were trying to create pretty goals instead of digging hard for the puck and going for rebounds. You can't just think that you can score easy, pretty goals. You have to score dirty goals sometimes.” 

He figures, “This will be a good lesson. They'll see that you can't just play nice. When we got shots there was nobody in front of the net – only in the corner. Now I hope they start to believe that we have to change this.”
