    59:10
    David Nemecek (CZE) goes to the box for slashing, although I think the call should have been boarding.
     
    57:49
    Goal for Team USA!
    Like four weren't enough, VINCE HINOSTROZA scores the fifth! Probably the quickest transition of the night, right from the defence with one touch they get it into the zone for Hinostroza who sneaks past the defence and beats Dolejs alone from the slot with a backhander.

    Assists: Thomas Dipauli, Connor Carrick.
     
    55:03
    Ryan Hartman takes the puck in over the left and drives to the slot alone with the goalie, but Daniel Dolejs between the pipes lifts his arm and deflects the shot into the glass.
     
    54:16
    Connor Carrick (USA) gets called for cross-checking from behind on Dominik Simon (CZE) but he will also get a penalty for slashing as he hit Carrick with the stick, though Carrick did a bit of acting to draw the penalty. 4-on-4 hockey.
     
    53:06
    Off the faceoff from the right Ryan Hartman hits the goal post and the puck bounces off to the left.
     
    52:14
    Team USA in the zone again, the shot from the right circle gets deflected by Dolejs and then Daniel O'Reagan misses the net high on the empty net before Dolejs was able to get back on the line.
     
    46:41
    The Czechs gained some strength and improved their play down the ice with this powerplay tally, while Dolejs makes a dandy save alone with two forwards just outside the crease.
     
    45:48
    Goal for Czech Republic!
    MICHAL PLUTNAR waits at the blue in the middle with lots of time before anyone could cover him and fires a precise wrister past Gillies to cut the lead.

    Assists: David Kampf, Ondrej Kase.
     
    45:16
    Stefan Matteau (USA) takes a slashing penalty as the Czechs were entering the zone.
     
    37:04
    Goal for Team USA!
    Hard work pays off! A long shot from the spot gets deflected by Zach Stepan in front of Dolejs, he is quite uncertain about it and couldn't handle the puck so it bounces off into the air, JACCOB SLAVIN waits patiently on the right post and slides the puck in before Dolejs retrieved to the side.

    Assist: Quentin Shore.
     
    34:56
    A shot from the right by Hartman from a very severe angle just at the goal line, Dolejs has a hard time keeping his skates firm by the post, and nearly drops the puck but still forces a stoppage.
     
    34:13
    Ryan Hartman takes a long a cross-ice feed from the left blue into the right side of the slot, but Daniel Dolejs doesn't let him slide the puck in.
     
    29:24
    Goal for Team USA!
    Andrew Copp gets the puck slided for him into the zone on the right and takes it straight at Dolejs firing a hard wrister, deflected to the right but HUDSON FASCHING onskates and picks up the rebound scoring into the empty net.

    Assist: Andrew Copp.
     
    26:47
    Connor Carrick (USA) gets called to the box for tripping, and team Czech Republic will go on their first powerplay today.
     
    25:15
    Jack Eichel with the puck once again over the right this time, Daniel Dolejs stones him cold as he fires from the slot.
     
    24:28
    Dominik Volek with a chance to cut the lead as he gets the puck alone and fires from the perimetre, just above the net and into the glass.
     
    06:34
    Jon Gillies has a handful saving shots now, as the Czechs drive into the slot and try a couple of shots.
     
    01:59

    In less than two minutes they snap a two-goal lead, both on the powerplay. WILL BUTCHER scored on a feed to the right post coming from the left wing.
