The Czech team will want to continue against the Norwegians in the same spirit in which they managed to deal with the Latvians. On Thursday, after an excellent start and a five-goal first period, he defeated 5: 1.
The striker David Kämpf, who arrived in northern Europe on Thursday, will jump into the third line of attack as the last summoned reinforcement from the NHL. And Karel Vejmelka will get the opportunity in the goal again.
So far, the Norwegian team in Tampere has lost to the home Finns 0: 5, subsequently lost a three-goal lead with the British and succeeded only after separate raids, then lost 2: 3 to the Latvians and defeated the Austrians 5: 3.
The last match between the hockey players of the Czech Republic and Norway is more than three years old – the Czechs won the World Championships in Bratislava 7: 2.
