A win today by Germany over Latvia and a loss by Kazakhstan to France would secure Germany’s participation in the top division of the world juniors in the 2019 edition of the event. In four games, Gawanke, a Winnipeg Jets prospect, is tied for the team lead in points with two goals and three assists.
