The first shot from the point is blocked, but it comes to Moller, he draws attention to himself and feeds a pass to a wide-open JOAKIM LINDSTROM, who fires it home before Salak can get across. The Swedes score two in a row on the power play and it's 3-3.
Assist: Oscar Moller.
Another shot from the point on this power play by OSCAR MOLLER. There was a lot of traffic in front but I'm not sure if anyone touched it. Salak surely didn't see it, though. Power-play goal.
Assists: Jimmie Ericsson, Joakim Lindstrom.
They were putting on all kinds of pressure, getting lots of traffic in front of the net, and the blast from the point by Nemec deflects in front off of MARTIN ZATOVIC, either his stick or leg.
Assists: Ondrej Nemec, Tomas Hertl.
The puck came back to Sevc at the leftt point again, who fed Kovar down low and then JIRI HUDLER in the slot, who fired it home. Power-play goal.
Assists: Jan Kovar, Martin Sevc.
It started with a shot from the circle by Backlund with lots of traffic in front. Salak made a pad save but couldn't find the rebound and OSCAR MOLLER picked it up, spun around and fired it in. Salak and the Czech team are not happy, they think there was some goaltender interference on the play, but the goal stands and it's 1-1.
Assist: Mikael Backlund.
Boy that was fast! TOMAS HERTL got sprung on a breakaway by Nemec right off the opening faceoff and beat Nilsson with a hard wrister low to the glove side.
Assists: Ondrej Nemec, Tomas Rolinek.
