JAROMIR JAGR forces his way through the defense and his shot towards the left bottom corner goes straight past Lundqvist who claimed that his defender Niklas Kronwall was pushed by Tomas Plekanec into the net but the referees gave the goal anyway!
Assisted by Tomas Plekanec and Tomas Kaberle.
The Czechs are finally rewarded for their efforts! Patrik Elias has the puck on the right wing and passes it back to MAREK ZIDLICKY who fires a one-timer into the left top corner to make it 1-4!
Assisted by Patrik Elias and Zbynek Michalek.
The Swedes can do what they wont and in power play they add the 4th goal! ERIK KARLSSON's powerful one-timer from the blue line goes past teh surprised Salak into the net!
Assisted by Daniel Sedin and Nicklas Bäckström.
The Swedes start very aggressively into the middle period and have several dangerous shots on goal before HENRIK ZETTERBERG makes it 3-0 already this early with a shot from the right wing!
Assisted by Gabriel Landeskog.
They didn't use their power play but now they score the 2-0! Swedish forward PATRIK BERGLUND is sent via the left wing and with a blast from the left circle he beats Jakub Kovar into the left corner – despite the power behind the shot it didn't look unstoppable!
Assisted by Oliver Ekman-Larsson and goalie Henrik Lundqvist.
With a man more on the ice during the delayed penalty the Swedes take the early lead! DANIEL ALFREDSSON waited alone in front of Czech goalie Kovar and deflected a shot from the right wing by Erik Karlsson in with his body past the surprised goalie!
Assisted by Erik Karlsson.
