Rondbjerg joined Team Denmark [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/vegas-golden-knights/CsKJgl3iGA93SnJrTQrD] and immediately had an impact, scoring twice, with both of his first two career World Championship goals coming in the second period to provide Denmark a commanding lead over Norway. Denmark would go on to win the game 6-3, putting themselves even with Germany for the final top-four spot in Group B.
