Czechia advanced to the gold medal game of the IIHF World Championship after a 7-3 win over Sweden in the semifinals. Despite Sweden's strong performance throughout the tournament, Czechia's offense, led by Martin Necas, Ondrej Kase, and Kubalik, proved too formidable. David Kämpf contributed significantly with a goal, an assist, and a +4 rating. Filip Gustavsson was replaced by Samuel Ersson after allowing five goals on 17 shots. Sweden, which had been undefeated and allowed only ten goals in the tournament prior to this match, will now compete for the bronze medal against Canada. In the other semifinal, Switzerland defeated Canada 3-2 in a shootout, with Jordan Binnington making 28 saves for Canada. Switzerland will face Czechia in the gold medal game, marking a significant achievement as they aim for their first-ever gold medal.
