Niagara, NY - The Czech Republic held off Norway despite four penalties in the third period for a 2-0 win Monday at Dwyer Arena. Norway is now 0-2 in the preliminary round.

After a whirl of four penalties in the first five minutes, including a 10 minute misconduct given to Adam Sedlak, the Czech Republic got another goal, this time from Antonin Honejsek.
Czech goalie Marek Mazanec got the shutout, stopping all 21 shots on goal. Norway’s Steffen Soberg got the start after fellow goalie Lars Volden allowed seven goals in three periods against Sweden Sunday afternoon, and saved 36 of 38 shots.
