Bedard, Caufield, Cervenka and Gaudreau were among the top performers on Saturday.
The first six-game day at the 2024 World Championship in Prague and Ostrava was a doozy, to say the least.
In the two early afternoon games, we didn’t see much back and forth. Both ended up being 1-1 at a point, but Canada managed to outscore Great Britain to win their opening game 4-2. In Ostrava, Kazakhstan tackled France with a 3-1 victory, with goaltending making a big difference after the Kazakhs scored all three goals from behind the red line.
In the midday games, we saw something that hadn’t happened in 30 years. With Krzytstof Macias’s shot in the first period, Poland had its first round-robin goal in a top-level World Championship game since the 1994 event – Poland’s second last appearance in this tournament. Latvia would come back to win the game 5-4 in overtime, but it was easily the best game of the tournament thus far. It came at the same time as Denmark cruised to a 5-1 win over Austria in the first game for both teams.
In the evening, things started off ugly for Czechia, who found themselves trailing for more than half the game. In the end, Norway’s inability to get pucks on net in the second half hurt them as Czechia finished with a 6-3 victory thanks to two goals from Roman Cervenka. Meanwhile, USA had a 6-1 win over Germany, with both teams sitting at three points apiece after two days of play.He’s special, man.
