Switzerland's preparations for the world ice hockey championship remain on track after the team put three goals past Norway in the first game of their two-match friendly series.

With nine days to go before the tournament gets underway in Germany, Ralph Krueger's squad registered a morale-boosting 3-1 victory in Herisau, with Bezina, Della Rossa and Riesen all getting their names on the scoresheet.

The two teams are due to face each other again on Friday in Kreuzlingen.
