He added with his fourth — and second on a power play — in the final period.
Swiss goaltender Leonardo Genoni made 21 saves.
Following problems with the quality of the ice in Herning, organizers extended the time for breaks between the periods from 15 to 17 minutes.
On Tuesday, play had to be suspended in the opening period of a game between Germany and Norway and again in the middle period due to a hole in the ice.
In Stockholm, Finland routed Slovenia 9-1 to move to the third place in Group A with eight points. Slovenia remains without a point. Eeli Tolvanen scored four goals for Finland.
Later Thursday, Canada meets Austria in Stockholm, and defending champion Czech Republic plays Hungary in Herning.
