PRAGUE (AP) — Dylan Cozens scored a short-handed goal in overtime for Canada to edge the Czech Republic 4-3 and complete the preliminary round at the ice hockey world championship Tuesday with seven straight wins.
The Buffalo Sabres center scored his second of the game with 1:47 left with Pierre-Luc Dubois in the penalty box for holding. It was Cozens’ tournament-leading eighth goal.
Canada topped Group A with 19 points and will face Slovakia, the fourth team in Group B, in the quarterfinals.
The Czech are second on 16 points, two more than third-place Switzerland, which faces Finland later Tuesday for their seventh and final preliminary round game.
Down 3-1 with less than five minutes in regulation, the hosts forced overtime with two goals after twice pulling goaltender Lukas Dostal.
Ondrej Palat reduced Canada’s lead to 3-2 by deflecting a shot into the net on a power play with Dostal pulled for a two-man advantage.
