Florida Panthers prospect Jakub Kos and Czechia finished with the silver medal at the 2023 World Junior Championship in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
Kos sent the game overtime when he scored his second of the tournament with 6:36 left in regulation by deflecting Tomas Hamara’s pass off the back skate of defenseman Ethan del Mastro and past Canadian goalie Thomas Milic.
Dylan Guenther gave Canada the gold when he notched his second goal of the night 6:22 into overtime. Guenther, a first round pick of the Arizona Coyotes in 2021, also had an assist for the hosts.
