HELSINKI -- Peter Bondra of the Washington Capitals scored the winning goal early in the second period and Pavol Demitra of the St. Louis Blues scored an insurance marker with 2:29 left as Slovakia defeated the Czech Republic 4-2 yesterday to take the bronze medal at the world hockey championship.
Bondra, who notched the game-winner last year when Slovakia won its first-ever world title in Sweden, beat goalie Tomas Vokoun of the Nashville Predators with a slapshot after breaking away all alone at 5:20 into the period.
Demitra, the St. Louis Blues' top scorer during the NHL regular season, set up the goal that gave Slovakia its third lead in a see-saw game before 13,324 fans at Hartwall Arena.
Miroslav Satan of the Buffalo Sabres set up Demitra's insurance goal with a nice pass from the left flank. Unmarked in front, Demitra sent the puck between Vokoun's legs.
