HERNING, Denmark — Host Denmark upset Finland 3-2 Wednesday as defending champion Sweden stayed perfect at the ice hockey world championship, shutting out Austria 7-0 on Wednesday for its fourth straight victory. Forward Rickard Rakell scored twice and added an assist for Sweden to share the scoring lead with Finland forward Sebastian Aho. Denmark neutralized the Finnish firepower that scored 23 goals in the previous three games for its victory, the second against Finland at the world championship. Captain Mikael Granlund equalized for Finland in the third but Nichlas Hardt scored the winner with 1:59 left. “Hopefully, we can build on that.”Brock Radunske scored for South Korea at 6-0 in only the second goal for the Koreans at the tournament.
