The 2022 IIHF World Championships began on May 13th and will run till the 29th. The Boston Bruins season ended on the 14th, which made it possible for players to still travel to Helsinki and Tampere, Finland, to represent their countries.
David Pastrnak jumped at the opportunity to go overseas to get another chance to play with his former teammate David Krejci on Team Czechia. It's clear that they haven't lost their chemistry from their days together with the Boston Bruins. Together on the top line with Czech Republic captain Roman Cervenka, the trio combined for six points in just their first period together.
