There were two upsets at the World Junior Hockey Championship in the Maritimes yesterday.
Czechia surprised Canada 5-2 and Switzerland scored in overtime against Finland.
A 5-minute major on Zach Dean of Mount Pearl for an illegal hit to the head helped pave the way for the Czechs, who scored twice on the ensuing power play. The call is not one seen in the NHL, but is consistent with IIHF rules and officiating in the tournament so far. Canada also took five minor penalties and did not have strong goaltending.
Their next game is Wednesday night against Germany.
