With Patrik Bartošák in goal, who returned to the national team for the first time since last May, but also with the debuting strikers in the national team Jan Myšák and Michael Špaček, the Czechs chose the Tre Kronor selection and from the very beginning they were much more dangerous and kept their opponent in check.
Koblížek and Smejkal’s chances called for an introductory shot, but it came in the 17th minute. While the Swedes did not use their first power play, the team in the red jerseys did. After the combination of Nestrašil with Hynek Zohorná, he leaned on the Hronek puck at the top of the right circle and the defender of Detroit, lent to Hradec Králové with a cannon over the trap, overcame the goalkeeper Rubin.

In just 104 seconds, the trio took the floor again and again in a numerical game. Although Hronek failed first with a shot into the open goal, in the ongoing action, the disc bounced towards Hynek Zohorn, who easily increased it to 2: 0.
The Czechs also ruled in the second part
Pešán’s charges also flew into the second period very actively, and after Smejkal’s backhand end, Rubina saved the pole for the second time in the match. The goal construction, on the other hand, immediately helped Bartošák shoot Dahlén.
But it was a unique opportunity for the Northerners, on the contrary, the Czechs did not take their feet off the gas. In the 27th minute, Šimon Stránský found Galvas free in the ring and the 21-year-old quarterback of the Finnish Jukurit secured a three-goal lead with his second goal in the tenth match for the national team.

And if, at the very end of the middle act, Tomáš Zohorn had used his brother Hynek’s great cross passport, the leadership could have been even higher.
The Swedes only lowered
The Swedes put up a higher gear in the early third period and Friberg took Bartošák’s hopes of hope for a third clean sheet in the national team. Tomáš Zohorna could answer immediately, but he fired into the bar.
The pressure of coach Garpenlöv’s charges nevertheless increased, but the Czechs resisted. More than three minutes before the end of the basic playing time, the Swedes tried the game without a goalkeeper, but the score did not change.
