The next game for the Czech Republic is Saturday, when they play Denmark, while things don't get any easier for Italy -- they face Canada on Friday.
That's all from this game, but remember there are two more today from Minsk, RUS-KAZ and SVK-NOR, both at 21:45 EEST, 20:45 CEST, 14:45 EDT and you can follow them both right here. (17:56:01)
Alexander Egger, ITA,
Jiri Sekac, CZE.
Shots on goal in the 3rd period (and game): CZE 10 (36), ITA 4 (11).
There was a delayed penalty coming to Italy. Cervenka had the first shot, hit Bellissimo in the shoulder, but he got the puck back and passed to JAROMIR JAGR, who scored on a low wrister. That could be a back-breaker for the offensively-challenged Italians.
Assist: Roman Cervenka.
Shots 32-10 for the Czechs, but it's only 1-0.
