GÖTEBORG – The Swedes decided on the triumph over Canada in the second period, in which Tom Willander and Noah Östlund scored.

The Czech hockey players lost to the USA team 3:4 at the junior world championships in Gothenburg after separate raids. In the third meeting in the basic B-group, they claimed their second defeat, although today they were leading 2:1 and 3:2 after conceding the first goal. In spite of the loss, coach Patrik Augusta’s team secured a place in the quarterfinals.
Right at the start, Isaac Howard sent the favored Americans into the lead, but Jakub Štancl equalized before the break, and then Adam Bareš put the Czechs in the lead in the second period. Will Smith equalized soon, but Robin Sapoušek responded.
Since Ryan Chesley’s tying run, the score has not changed, and the game was finally decided by Howard’s seventh-inning run. The last meeting in the group awaits the Czech team on Sunday, when they play against Switzerland from 17:00.
Finnish hockey players won their first victory at the Junior WC in Gothenburg. On Friday, they handled the Latvian “twenty” smoothly 4:0 and came close to progressing to the quarterfinals.
“Suomi” improved their appetite after a surprising loss against Germany (3:4), they used three power plays in the match. In the A-group table, they are in 4th place with three points.
The Latvians did not score a goal even in the third meeting at the World Cup and are in the last 5th place without a point. If they want to avoid a play-off for survival, they will need to beat Germany in the final group game for three points and hope for more favorable results.
