Below is a recap of day four results, notable performances, and a closer look at action ahead. SUNDAY’S PRELIMINARY ROUND RECAP CZECHIA (2) VS. FINLAND (0) Montréal rookie Natálie Mlýnková scored the insurance marker to help secure Czechia’s first win of the tournament and hand Finland its second straight shutout loss in a pivotal Group A matchup. The Czechs, who fell to the Finns in each of the last two bronze medal games at Women’s Worlds, became the first European team to shut out Finland in the Olympics, and now sit one point ahead of Canada, who have two games in hand, in the standings heading into Monday’s meeting. SWEDEN (4) VS. FRANCE (0) Toronto’s Sara Hjalmarsson recorded a second straight two-point performance with a goal and an assist as Sweden continued its perfect start to the tournament.
