    The Slovaks battled hard in the second period to get themselves in this game, but for the most part the Czechs showed themselves to be a superior team. They will probably battle with the USA for top spot in this group, while the Slovaks are probably the 3rd team.

    There's one more Top Division game today, and it's a Nordic Derby between Sweden and Finland. Of course, we'll have every game of both divisions from Pardubice all week long. (19:31:05)
     
    Players of the game:
