The Czechs kept the pressure high and were rewarded by ZDENEK KUTLAK in power play! A cross-pass just in front of the Swiss net he received at the left post and fired teh puck into the left bottom corner from short distance – no chance at all for Gerber and now we have a hockey game again!
Assisted by Tomas Plekanec and Jakub Voracek.
In power play the Swiss double their lead – 2-0 now after ROMAN JOSI received the puck on the right circle and fired the puck past Pavelec!
Assisted by Ryan Gardner and Raphael Diaz.
After a fast 2-on-3 attack DENIS HOLLENSTEIN scored from short distance after Pavelec allowed a rebound! Early lead for Switzerland! The Swiss had a perfect pass towards the blue line from within the neutral zone and then the puck came towards the right circle from where a pass came back to the slot. What a play!
Assisted by Reto Suri and Severin Blindenbacher.
