    59:54
    Goal for Team USA!
    The Czechs were unable to re-enter the US zone, and CODY MILAN shoots the puck from the neutral zone into the empty net to put this game away. Unassisted.
     
    58:40
    The Czech net is empty, they have 6 attackers on the ice.
     
    52:22
    Nick Schmaltz with the interception in the Czech zone, goes in on goal but forced wide by the defenceman and his shot goes wide.
     
    48:46
    Goal for Team USA!
    RYAN WAGNER got in behind the Czech defence with the puck and scores on the deke to restore the lead to the US.
     
    48:35
    Nick Wolff with a high wrister that Vanecek was screened on and it hit him up high.
     
    45:25
    David Pastrnak goes wide, tries to find Vopelka at the side of the net and he swipes at it but misses the puck with half an open net! The US defender might have tied up his stick.
     
    43:26
    Nardella steps out of the box and leads a US 2-on-1 rush--he fires a laser toward the top corner that hits Vanecek's shoulder and goes out of play. Faceoff in the Czech zone.
     
    41:16
    Czechs back to the power play whre theyv'e been dangerous--after giving away the puck Bob Nardellas trips a Czech player to prevent an odd-man rush.
     
    39:20
    Goal for Team Czech Republic!
    This Czech team is going on adrenaline. Vaclav Karabacek won a battle for the puck behind the net and found PAVEL ZACHA, who went off the post and in. Assist: Vaclav Karabacek.
     
    37:29
    Now another chance, I'm not sure who had it but he tried to go upstairs and it went off the crossbar and out of play. Faceoff outside with 1:05 left in the penalty.
     
    37:22
    Vesely circles the net and tries to stuff it in, there's a big scramble but it stays out. Czechs tried to argue it was over the line but ref say s no.
     
    36:34
    Just after killing off one penalty, the US is back to the PK as Nick Schmaltz is sent off for hooking.
     
    35:57
    Vrana the shot, Nedjelkovic got an arm on it but it lied dangerously in the crease before being swept away.
     
    34:20
    Keegan Iverson is being sent off for slashing at Vanecek after a save, putting the Czechs back to the power play.
     
    31:30
    And now frantic action around the Czech goal with Cody Milan just missing a chance to score, big save by Vanecek. What back and forth action to this game.
     
    30:30
    Breakaway for David Pastrnak, tries to deke but Nedjelkovic denies him.
     
    30:08
    Goal for Team USA!
    But the US top line comes right back and takes the lead. Panicking, the puck was cleared onto the stick of JUSTIN SCHMALTZ, who made no mistake. Unassisted.
     
    28:09
    Goal for Team Czech Republic!
    The US penalty killers seemed to lose track of JAKUB VRANA, and he took a pass at the top of the circle and had all day to skate in and pick the low corner to tie this game back up. Assists: Jakub Zbořil, David Pastrňák.
     
    26:53
    Another US penalty, Aaron Haydon with the trip trying to slow the Czech rush. Back to 4 on 4.
     
    25:36
    The Czechs are off the power play as they had two many players on the ice -- they actually had six players skating around the ice on the power play. We'll have 4-on-4 for 1:08.
     
    24:44
    Czechs put on some pressure and Jack Dougherty has to dump a player in front of the net--he's called for intererence and the Czechs will have a 2-man advantage for :04
     
    22:48
    USA's Ryan Mantha clears the puck out of play from his own zone, Czechs to the power play.
     
    18:10
    Goal for Team USA!
    Just after the penalty ended, but before Zboril could get back into the play, NICK SCHMALTZ shot through traffic, Vanecek got a piece of it, but it dribbled across the line. Assist: Jack Dougherty.
     
    17:30
    Americans controlled around the perimeter then made a push to the net. The puck ends up in but the referee says no goal--Vanecek had it stopped and was pushed in after. Faceoff stays inside, :28 left in the penalty.
     
    16:05
    US going to the power play for the first time as Jakub Zboril goes off for tripping.
     
    13:10
    Great chance for the Americans, Jake Wallin tried to sneak in in the near side but it somehow stays out, then it comes out front to Ryan Mantha and he hits Vanecek too.
     
    10:42
    One-timer from Pavel Zacha in the slot--he already has one goal and this one hits Nedjelkovic in the shoulder, pops into the air, and slides just wide of the post.
     
    09:49
    Goal for Team USA!
    Just inside the Czech blueline, Cody Milan dropped the puck for JAKE WAHLIN, whose wrister finds room on the near side. Assist: Cody Milan.
     
    05:24
    Turnover in the Czech zone, Schmaltz feeds Wolff, whose one-timer just misses the far post.
     
    04:04
    Goal for Team Czech Republic!
    Big one-timer slapper from PAVEL ZACHA finds room just inside the far post and this building absolutely erupts. Power play goal. Assist: Vaclav Karabacek
     
    03:16
    And American Aaron Hayden maybe a bit too overzealous on the hit and gets called for charging, though he disagrees. Czechs to the power play.
