"Canada fell behind with 7:42 remaining when Ondrej Palat scored off a pass from Martin Necas. The goal sent the Czech bench and fans into a wild celebration, but their excitement was short-lived. Suzuki just about did it all on the tying goal, sending the puck out to the point to Devon Toews and then redirecting the defenseman's shot past Lukas Dostal."

Crosby left the ice second later after he was crunched against the boards by Gudas and Necas."
