After 40 minutes, Latvia was clinging to a 1-0 lead over Hungary in the second game of the Olympic qualifying tournament.

The game unraveled for Hungary in the third period, and Latvia scored eight goals -- including two from Teddy Blueger -- in the third period to come away with a 9-0 win.

Blueger scored the game's fourth goal with just over eight minutes remaining in the third period with this shot from the slot on the power play:

It was his first goal of the tournament.

Blueger scored again with 3:29 remaining to increase Latvia's lead to seven goals. He snuck the puck past Hungary's goaltender and into the crease, then tapped in the loose puck from the other side of the net. The initial call on the ice was no-goal, but officials awarded the goal to Blueger after a review:

Latvia is 2-0 in the Olympic qualifying tournament, after also defeating Italy 6-0 on the opening day of the tournament. Latvia's final game will be on Sunday against France.
