    Players of the Game:

    FRA – G Caroline Baldin, 42 saves.

    CZE – D Aneta Tejralova, game-winning, power-play goal.
     
    So the first game of this Women's World Championship, Division I Group A, is in the books. A 3-0 win for the Czech Republic, and it could have been worse if not for the goaltending of Caroline Baldin. France stayed even for a while, not surrendering a goal until the last minute of the 2nd period, but ultimately the Czechs were just too much for them to handle.
     
    60:00

    47:47
    Goal for Team Czech Republic!
    France stayed with them for a while, but the Czechs are pulling away now. DOMINIKA LASKOVA sent a high wrister from the point and with so much traffic in front, Baldin didn't see it as it sailed over her shoulder into the top corner.
    Assists: Simona Studentova, Eva Holesova.
