A year ago, the national team in Prague won the Czech Games without a single defeat, and if they want to think about another tournament championship, they need the Swedes to succeed. After Thursday’s duel with Finland, there will be other line-up changes. The healed Jordan returns to the defense and the two attackers who did not play against the Suomi team, Petr Holík and Hynek Zohorn, also jump in. The mentioned duo will attack with Patrik Zdráhal. Otherwise, two well-functioning elite lines will not change, only Kváč’s goalkeeper, Nedomlel’s defenders with Kaňák and Friedrich’s and Hladonik’s attackers will remain in civilian clothes.

The Czechs have fought the Swedes twice in the season so far and have not even scored a point. They lost 1: 4 at Karjala in November and 2: 3 at the Channel One Cup in December.
