Canada – Jonathan Drouin
Czech Republic – Petr Sidlik
DOMINIK SIMON scores the shootout winner in spectacular fashion.
Each of these teams get 1 point in the Group A standings and they'll now play for a 2nd. First we'll have 5 minutes of 4-on-4 sudden-death overtime. If nobody scores, a shootout.
Overtime begins at 19:56 CET, 13:56 EST.
And we've got the wave going now inside the Isstadion.
This is just insanity now. :16 after the Czechs score, th Canadians tie it right back up. After the initial drive is stopped the puck is fed back to CHARLES HUDON, who blasts it in.
They answer right back again. There's no clear winner of the draw but it's fed back to the point to PETR VRANA, who fires an absolute rocket high to the stick side on Paterson. Power-play goal.
Canada with the shorthanded goal. First Laughton drove to the net with the puck, it went wide but then came out to AARON EKBLAD, who took a chance and pinched while killing a penalty and it paid off. Assist: Scott Laughton, Curtis Lazar.
The Czechs get control right off the draw and VOJTECH TOMECEK deflects it through the legs of Paterson to put the Czechs back in front.
They went to work right away on the power play, Reinhart fed JONATHAN DROUIN at the point, and he fired it high blocker side on Langhammer. Power-play goal, and we'll now play 4-on-4. Assists: Sam Reinhart, Anthony Mantha.
Canada will begin the period with a 4-on-3 advantage ... barring no more penalties or goals it will then go to 4-on-4 after :31 and eventually be a 5-on-4.
The Czechs seem every bit as fired up by this crowd as the Canadians, and thanks to some power plays they were the better team that second period. Of course, you can imagine Canada will come with quite a push in the third period.
3rd period begins at 19:16 CET, 13:16 EST.
But the verdict is back quickly -- no goal.
One second after the penalty ends, they cash in. First Ronald Knot centred it out front and somebody hit the post, then it went back to the point and MICHAL PLUTNAR's shot went just under the crossbar. It seemed to change direction so it might not remain his goal, but for now it is.
Puck goes out of play and the faceoff is in the neutral zone.
An energetic start to this game with lots of physical play, which has this overwhelmingly pro-Canada crowd revved up. The score is 1-1 after a period, but Canada giving the Czechs fits in their own end -- they've taken two penalties trying to keep them at bay, the second one leading to the tying goal.
2nd period starts at 18:25 CET, 12:25 EST.
They had trouble getting the power play going but sure got the pressure on in the late going and cash in with :09 left. The puck is moved around the perimeter and Bo Horvat centred in front to SAM REINHART, who snapped it home to tie the score. Power-play goal. Assists: Bo Horvat, Connor McDavid.
The Czechs got possession in the zone when DAVID KAMPF won a battle along the boards and eventually Ondrej Kase fed it back to him in front, and he backhanded it in from the slot along the ice. Assist: Ondrej Kase.
