Gogulla gets a goal; Germans fall

Philip Gogulla notched his first goal of the World Championship, but the Germans needed more in their 3-2 loss to Norway.
Philip Gogulla made it 2-0 at 4:09 into the second period with a great second effort when his initial backhand did not beat Pal Grontes. Staying with the play, Gogulla jammed it home for his first-ever World Championship goal. Prior to this, Gogulla had seven assists since joining the national team in 2007.
Gogulla's tally put Germany ahead 2-0, but three unanswered goals sank the club over the final period and a half.
