    Goal for Team Czech Republic!
    Just after a great Danish chance, the Czechs come back the other way and score. It wasn't their most dangerous chance of the game, but defenceman ZBYNEK MICHALEK took a slapper from the top of the circle that beat Nielsen high to the glove side. Assists: Petr Hubáček, Ladislav Šmíd.
