After a tough loss to the Canadian team on the first night, Czechia was looking to regroup and get into the win column against Germany. While the Czechs took advantage of the Canadians early mistakes, they were unable to match Owen Power’s hat trick as they dropped the contest 6-3. Germany has put together a sneaky good squad in recent tournaments, but lack a real star threat this year, making them an ideal rebound opponent for Jan Myšák and Czechia.
In the early moments it looked like the Czechs might overrun the Germans, but goaltender Florian Bugl remained composed in his crease to deny Czechia any early breakthroughs as the team in front of him tried to find their legs.
