Once again very poor power play efficiency, only 1/7 resulting in expected second lose.
So, still one match remains for our boys in the preliminary round, the game holiday against the reigning Olympic champions, and then Slovakia will play in the 13th-16th placement round, where we expect to finally achieve some win(s)
