Mark Stone of the Vegas Golden Knights has tallied 12 points (seven goals, five assists) in the tournament thus far, tied with forward Anthony Mantha of the Detroit Red Wings for Canada's lead. Mantha was suspended for the quarterfinals because of an illegal check to the head against the United States in Canada's final preliminary-round game, but his availability for the semifinals is HUGE for head coach Alain Vigneault.
The Czechs scored 39 goals in the preliminary round at #IIHFWorlds, and five in their QF with Germany. Here are a bunch of those ? while you wait for a big semi-final showdown with Canada on Saturday.@narodnitym

The Czech Republic reached the semifinals with a 5-1 win against Germany in the quarters and a victory on Saturday would give the country its first chance to compete for a World Championship since 2010.
They will be led by captain and Philadelphia Flyers' forward Jakub Voracek, whose 16 points are tied for second at the tournament.
Simply put, history is at stake for both nations on Saturday.
