The Czech Republic outlasted Denmark 3-2 in the men's ice hockey qualification play-off on Tuesday, setting up the unenviable task of playing hot favourites Canada in the quarter-finals.

Mitch Marner scored a dramatic winner at 1:22 of 3-on-3 overtime as Canada battled back to beat Czechia 4-3 in quarterfinal action Wednesday.

Canada fell behind with 7:42 remaining when Ondrej Palat scored on an odd-man rush off a pass from Martin Necas.
