The Czechs were unable to re-enter the US zone, and CODY MILAN shoots the puck from the neutral zone into the empty net to put this game away. Unassisted.
One wonders how long it will be before they pull Vanecek.
Time becoming a factor now.
They obviously don't want to calm the team down and not let the lead slip away again.
