ZURICH -- Hungary shut out Britain 5-0 at the ice hockey world championship Tuesday for its first victory at this year's tournament.
Krisztian Nagy and Istvan Terbocs scored two goals each and Bence Balizs stopped 26 shots in a Group A game in Zurich.
Britain, a newcomer to the top division, remains pointless and risks immediate relegation if it doesn't improve.
Earlier in Zurich, Benjamin Nissner scored a power-play goal in the third period to help Austria beat Latvia 3-1.
Austria's third straight win put it level on points with Switzerland and Finland atop Group A.
Tim Harnisch's second-period goal gave Austria a 1-0 lead before Latvia captain Rudolfs Balcers tied it early in the third with his tournament-leading fourth goal.

After Nissner's go-ahead goal, Vinzenz Rohrer added an empty-netter.
In Group B in Fribourg, Slovakia needed a penalty shootout to prevail over Slovenia 5-4.
Slovakia was leading 4-3 when Rok Ticar tied it for Slovenia with 0:31 remaining in regulation. No goal was scored in overtime and Slovakia won the shootout 3-1.
Slovakia trails group leader Canada by one point.
In the same group, Norway blanked Italy 4-0 for its second victory and second shutout.
Eskild Bakke Olsen, Noah Steen, Christian Kaasastul and Tinus Luc Koblar had a goal each while goaltender Henrik Haukeland stopped all 30 shots he faced.
Italy, another newcomer, remains without a point.
