Seung-Hwan Jung gave the Koreans the lead just 42 seconds into the contest before Rolf Pederson equalised for the Norwegians in the second period.

With a little under two minutes remaining, Dong-Shin Jang bagged the winning goal for the home side at the Gangneung Hockey Centre.

Jang is a three-time Paralympic medallist in wheelchair fencing but is just as adept on the ice.

"I'm so excited, I cannot even explain how I feel right now," he said.

"The head coach changed my position from defence to offense recently, so I knew all the staff believed in me to score. 

"I had patience on the ice and waited for the right pass to shoot, and when I got it, I scored."
