The Boston Bruins star forward gave Team Czechia a 2-1 lead with his goal in the first period. It marked the first time in 805 minutes and 1 second that Canada trailed.

Despite the go-ahead goal, Canada came back, forced overtime and earned a quarterfinal win on a Mitch Marner goal to advance the Canadians to the semifinal and send the Czechs packing.
