World Junior Championships
Canada 8 vs. Czech Republic 1
W Dana Tyrell, CAN: Injured
G Dustin Tokarski, CAN: Win, 21 saves on 22 shots

Tokarski got Canada's first start in the tournament and responded with a series of huge saves in the opening period to keep the game scoreless before Canada's onslaught began. After Canada had a snowman on the board, the only question would be if Tokarski got his shutout. He was beaten late to nullify that, but his big-game play came through once again - this time on the international stage in what he called the biggest start of his young career.

Canada plays Borat's homeland on Sunday. Chet Pickard will likely get the start in that game.
