It was a good day overall for the Vegas Golden Knights contingent in Slovakia with Mark Stone, Jonathan Marchessault and Shea Theodore advancing through to the IIHF World Championship Finals with Team Canada.
However, Nikita Gusev and Team Russia were unable to get past the Final Four stage and will now compete in the Bronze Medal game today.
Let’s turn our focus back to Team Canada for a minute, however, as once again Vegas’ trio of international stars played a big role in their country’s success.
Fresh off the back of setting up the tying goal late in regulation and then scoring the overtime winner against Team Switzerland, Stone produced the goods once again as he opened the scoring against the Czech Republic.
