He's probably had more shots on goal this game than anyone else and he finally scores, winning a race for the puck in the Czech zone and then beating Kovar with a nice little wrister just inside the post. Unassisted.
A lucky bounce for the Swedes and an unfortunate one for the Czechs. Nakladal had SIMON HJALMARSSON tied up in front and the pass from the corner from Arlbrandt hit his skate and went in. They went to video replay to make sure it wasn't a kicking motion but the goal counts. Hjalmarsson's 2nd of the game. Assists: Par Arlbrandt, David Ullstrom.
An incredible individual effort by LINUS KLASEN, who carried the puck from his own blueline all the way into the Czech zone and fired a perfect wrister just inside the far post for his second of the game. Power-play goal. Assist: John Klingberg.
They go right back to the attack and Daniel Rahimi fires it from the point and PAR ALBRANDT made a nice deflection in front -- no chance for Stepanek. Assist: Daniel Rahimi.
The Swedes break out of the zone and just past the blue line Arlbrandt fires a pass across to SIMON HJALMARSSON, who goes to the backhand and slides it through the pads of Stepanek. Assists: Par Albrandt, David Ullstrom.
It starts with a faceoff won by Martin Thornberg, who then later wins the race for the puck behind the net and feeds LINUS KLASEN in front, who quickly snaps it high glove side on Stepanek. Assist: Martin Thornberg, Niklas Olausson.
