Czechia takes an early lead against Canada in their quarter-final match at the World Junior Hockey Championship.
Petr Sikora scored the opening goal for Czechia, giving them a 3-1 lead over host Canada after the first period of their quarter-final clash at the World Junior Hockey Championship. Tanner Howe answered for Canada with a short-handed goal, but Jakub Stancl responded on the power play to give Czechia the lead. With just three seconds remaining in the period, Eduard Sale scored to push the Czechs to a 3-1 lead.
Czechia opened with a 10-2 lead on shots early in the period, but Canada upped the energy throughout the period, and the shot tally finished 14-9 for the Czech side. Each team took a pair of penalties in the game's opening frame. Canada's Cole Beaudoin was given a game misconduct for kneeing after a knee-on-knee hit left Sikora in pain. During the ensuing Czech power play, Canada scored a short-handed goal through Braden Yager and Tanner Howe. However, Czechia was able to mount a positive on the power play, as Stancl was credited with a goal after his shot bounced into the crease and was pushed into the net by a Canadian hand. Sikora picked up the first penalty of the game for roughing at the 3:45 mark - but the power play ended after four seconds, as Canada's Cal Ritchie was whistled for tripping off the faceoff. Canada's tough start to the game carried on into the 4-on-4 after surrendering an early goal - Czechia found two breakaway chances in the opening minute of 4-on-4 play, which each required saves by Carter George
