Poulin scores twice to lead Canada past Czechia at Women's Worlds. MORE:
Poulin scored her milestone goal in style, finishing off a rapid-fire two-on-one with Blayre Turnbull by tucking a backhand behind Czechia netminder Blanka Skodova at 8:03 of the first period. Poulin switched to her backhand so quickly that Skodova was sliding over to the wrong side of the goal as the Canadian star fired the puck home.
Renata Fast, Blayre Turnbull and Laura Stacey also scored for Canada before a largely red-clad crowd at the CAA Centre.As they did against the Swiss in their opening Group A game, the Canadians took an early penalty with goaltender Ann-Renee Desbiens calmly handling the two shots she faced from the Czech power play.
Clark set up the play, digging the puck out of the corner and fed it back to Larocque, a veteran blue liner playing in her 168th game for Canada.Canada made life difficult for itself in the third after Poulin's second goal, taking three straight minor penalties — and having to defend a 70-second five-on-three disadvantage.It marked the first time the two teams had ever met with Czechia becoming the 15th different country the Canadian women, who were playing game No.
The Czechs finished third at last year's worlds, their best-ever finish at the tournament. They lost 10-1 to the U.S, in the semifinals then beat Switzerland 4-2 in the third-place game.
