It was a busy day for Blackhawks representatives in the quarterfinals of the 2016 IIHF World Championship, as the eight remaining teams vied for a spot in the medal round on Saturday. In St. Petersburg, a young Team USA squad took on the Czech Republic, Team A winners, and emerged with a 2-1 shootout win after neither team was able to convert on any of six power-play opportunities. Later, Canada thoroughly defeated Sweden 6-0 to set up another border battle in the semifinals, as Rockford IceHogs forwards Vinny Hinostroza and Tyler Motte will help the U.S. try to avenge a 5-1 opening night loss.
