Czech ice hockey team loses to Slovenia 2–3 in overtime at the World Championship

The Czech national team’s second match at the Ice Hockey World Championship against Slovenia brought them only one point out of a possible three. Despite turning the game around in the second period to lead 2–1 after conceding first, regulation time ended in a 2–2 draw. Slovenia then decided the Group B match in Fribourg in overtime with a goal for 3–2.

The Czechs did not build on their opening win against Denmark (4–1). It was also the first time in history that they lost to Slovenia at a World Championship.

An interesting detail of the match was that the Slovenian goalkeeper was Lukáš Horák, a native of Most. The Czech team has a rest day on Sunday and will face Sweden on Monday at 20:20.
