PRAGUE -- Boston Bruins star forward David Pastrnak scored as the Czech Republic shut out Switzerland 2-0 to win the ice hockey world championship on Sunday.
Just more than a week after the Bruins saw their season end, their best player broke the deadlock for his country with 10:47 remaining in the final period.
Pastrnak one-timed his usual place in the left circle past goaltender Leonardo Genoni after he was fed by defenseman Tomas Kundratek from the blue line.
"We did it at home. We've been waiting for gold for a very long time and it couldn't have come at a better time," Pastrnak said in his on-ice interview after the medal ceremony.
