Florida Panthers forward Jaromir Jagr is expected to play for the Czech Republic in the quarterfinals of the 2015 IIHF World Championship on Thursday, Reuters reported.

Jagr played 1:55 against Switzerland on Tuesday before leaving with a suspected injury.

The Czech Republic will play Finland in the quarterfinals.

"There is a little question mark whether he will play, but it is more likely [he will]," Petr Kolar said, according to the report. "It is a key game for him, bigger than [Tuesday] and that is why we chose this way."

Sidney Crosby can move one step closer to the Triple Gold club when he leads Canada against Belarus on Thursday in one of four quarterfinal games at the IIHF World Championship in the Czech Republic.

A total of 25 players and one coach (Mike Babcock) are members of the Triple Gold club, meaning they've been on teams that won an Olympic gold medal, the Stanley Cup and a World Championship. Crosby has two Olympic golds and the Stanley Cup; however, Canada hasn't won a World Championship since 2007, one year after finishing fourth despite Crosby's 16 points in nine games following his rookie season for the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Jack Eichel, a top prospect for the 2015 NHL Draft, scored with 28 seconds left in overtime to help the United States rally for a 5-4 victory against Slovakia on Tuesday in a Group B preliminary-round game at the 2015 IIHF World Championship at CEZ Arena in Ostrava, Czech Republic.

The U.S. led 3-0 27 seconds into the second period on a goal by Anders Lee (New York Islanders), but Slovakia scored four straight to take the lead. Charlie Coyle (Minnesota Wild) tied the game with 52 seconds left in the second when he scored off the rebound of a shot by Zach Redmond (Colorado Avalanche).

After a scoreless third period, time was running down in overtime when Eichel, NHL Central Scouting's No. 2-ranked North American skater for the 2015 NHL Draft, scored the winner unassisted.

Matt Duchene (Colorado Avalanche) and Jason Spezza (Dallas Stars) each had two goals and two assists to lead Canada to a 10-1 defeat of Austria on Tuesday in a Group A preliminary-round game at the 2015 IIHF World Championship at O2 Arena in Prague.

Jordan Eberle (Edmonton Oilers) and Nathan MacKinnon (Colorado Avalanche) each had a goal and an assist for Canada. Goaltender Mike Smith (Arizona Coyotes) made 14 saves.

Canada played without captain Sidney Crosby (Pittsburgh Penguins), who was given a day off. Defenseman Dan Hamhuis (Vancouver Canucks) was captain for the game.

Slovenia coach Matjaz Kopitar resigned Tuesday after five seasons as coach of the national team.

At the 2015 IIHF World Championship, Slovenia finished eighth in Group B with three points (1-0-0-6) and was relegated to the Division I Group A level for the 2016 tournament. Slovenia lost its first six games, all in regulation. Its only win came Monday against Denmark, a 1-0 victory in its tournament finale.

Pekka Rinne (Nashville Predators) broke the record for longest shutout streak at the World Championship and Finland defeated Belarus 3-2 in a shootout in a Group B preliminary-round game at the 2015 IIHF World Championship played at CEZ Arena in Ostrava, Czech Republic.

Evgeni Kovyrshin's goal 5:09 into the third period was the first allowed by Rinne in 237:05, breaking the post-war mark of 206:26 set by Slovakia's Jan Lasak in 2004.

"Rinne has been unbelievable," Finland captain Jussi Jokinen (Florida Panthers) told the IIHF website. "Playing the way he has gives our team so much confidence. We will need him for sure the rest of the way."

Sean Couturier (Philadelphia Flyers) had two assists and was one of seven players to score a goal for Canada in a 7-2 win against Switzerland on Sunday in a Group A preliminary-round game at the 2015 IIHF World Championship played at O2 Arena in Prague.

Aaron Ekblad (Florida Panthers), Cody Eakin (Dallas Stars) and Claude Giroux (Philadelphia Flyers) each had a goal and an assist. Jordan Eberle (Edmonton Oilers), Nathan MacKinnon (Colorado Avalanche) and Tyler Seguin (Dallas Stars) each scored a goal.

"We've got a team that can roll four lines pretty easily," Seguin told the IIHF website. "It's very evident on our roster. It's easy to put a bunch of stars together, but you've got to come together as a team, and we've done a good job of that thus far."

Brock Nelson (New York Islanders) had two goals and an assist to help the United States to a 3-1 win against Slovenia on Sunday in a Group B preliminary-round game at the 2015 IIHF World Championship at CEZ Arena in Ostrava, Czech Republic.

Jack Eichel, NHL Central Scouting's No. 2-rated North American skater in its final rankings for the 2015 NHL Draft, also had a goal. Trevor Lewis (Los Angeles Kings) had three assists, and goaltender Connor Hellebuyck (Winnipeg Jets) made 21 saves.

"Our line [Nelson, Lewis and Eichel] has been working well for quite a few games now," Nelson told the IIHF website. "I don't know what the secret is. It would be nice if we did. But I think we've played well from the get-go to create chances and capitalize on them. When you get a few early goals you build that chemistry."

Forward Jordan Eberle (Edmonton Oilers) scored his second goal of the game midway through the third period to give Canada a 4-3 win against France on Saturday in a Group A preliminary-round game at the 2015 IIHF World Championship at 02 Arena in Prague.

Forward Tyler Seguin (Dallas Stars) scored twice and goalie Martin Jones (Los Angeles Kings) made 18 saves for Canada (5-0-0-0, 15 points); Ronan Quemener made 39 saves for France.

Seguin and Eberle scored 66 seconds apart in the first period to give Canada a 2-0 lead. Seguin scored a power-play goal halfway through the period that was assisted by forward Jason Spezza (Stars) and defenseman Tyson Barrie (Colorado Avalanche).

Connor Hellebuyck (Winnipeg Jets) made 21 saves and forward Brock Nelson (New York Islanders) scored in the second period to lead the United States to a 1-0 win against Denmark on Friday in a Group B preliminary-round game at the 2015 IIHF World Championship at CEZ Arena in Ostrava, Czech Republic.

The United States (4-0-0-1, 12 points) moved back into first place one day after losing for the first time in the tournament, 5-2 to Belarus. The U.S. outshot Denmark 41-21, but goaltender Sebastian Dahm kept his team in the game with 40 saves.

"Too many time tonight looking for the extra pass and it led to turnovers," U.S. coach Todd Richards said, according to the IIHF website. "They played hard, they came after us and forced us into turnovers. We did not manage the puck the way we need to. We were fortunate to get out with a 1-0 win."

Nelson scored his team-high fourth goal of the tournament 7:54 into the second period, beating Dahm on a wraparound.
