The Czech Republic made a change in the crease.

Petr Mrazek is the starter for Monday's game against Team Europe at the World Cup of Hockey.

He gets the nod over Michal Neuvirth, who made 44 saves in a 6-0 loss to Canada on Saturday night.

Mrazek relieved Neuvirth in the third period of the Czech Republic's pre-tournament win over Team North America on Wednesday, stopping 17-of-19 shots.

Europe shut out the United States 3-0 in its opening game of the tournament on Saturday afternoon.
