Detroit Red Wings prospect Filip Hronek appears to be building on a standout season.

The defenseman scored a goal for the Czech Republic in their preliminary game against Sweden on Day 3 of the World Championship. Sweden won, 3-2.

At 20, Hronek is the third-youngest player on the Czech team. He joined the squad after the Grand Rapids Griffins were eliminated in the first round of the AHL playoffs on Monday.
