For the second time during the IIHF Worlds Championship, Colorado Avalanche players faced each other on opposing sides. In this case, Team Canada played against Team Switzerland, goal tended by Avalanche back up Reto Berra. Canadians Matt Duchene, Tyson Barrie, Ryan O’Reilly and Nathan MacKinnon are representing their country in the Czech Republic.
In fact, the latter of the four, MacKinnon, made an impression on goaltender Berra, having scored on him. He scored the second goal for the Canadians with just 18 seconds remaining in the period.
