Jagr inspires Czech win

Three numbers stand out from Saturday's 4-2 Czech win over Latvia: 68, Jaromir Jagr's sweater number; 43, Jagr's age; 25, the age he looks like on ice.

Two other numbers: 18:11, Jagr's ice time; and, 6, the number of shots he took, most of which were good chances.

With the goal Jagr is the oldest player to score a goal in the IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship. The oldest to play in a World Championship was Belgian Fernand Carez, who was 43 years and 114 days old in 1949.

The Czechs rallied to score three goals in the second period.
