Czechia’s national hockey team delivered a dominant performance Monday night, beating hosts Denmark 7-2 at the World Championship in Herning.

The win keeps Czechia undefeated in the tournament so far, boosting confidence ahead of the next matches.

Star players like Martin Nečas and David Pastrňák stood out, with Nečas scoring twice and Pastrňák adding a goal and two assists. Captain Roman Červenka also found the net, along with goals from Lukáš Sedlák, Daniel Gazda, and Daniel Voženílek.

The Czech team controlled the second period, scoring four goals to take a commanding lead. Denmark managed to respond with two goals in the second and third periods, but it wasn’t enough to threaten the result.

In goal for Czechia, Daniel Vladař impressed in his first start of the tournament with 29 saves. Denmark’s goalkeeper Frederik Dichow had a tougher evening, facing relentless pressure from the Czech offense.

The home crowd in Herning gave Denmark strong support, but the hosts have now lost all three of their games and are still searching for a win.

They’ll play Kazakhstan next. Czechia, meanwhile, will face Hungary on Thursday.
