Red Wings at 2022 IIHF World Championship: May 19 - 25 Recap

The Detroit Red Wings are making headlines at the 2022 International Ice Hockey Federation World Championship in Finland.

All six of the players who donned the Winged Wheel this season are advancing to the quarterfinal round of the international tournament, which will begin on Thursday in the cities of Tampere and Helsinki.

Take a look at the notable results through the final preliminary-round games of the 17-day competition.

UNITED STATES

Grand Rapids Griffins forward Riley Barber and the U.S. wrapped up the preliminary round with a 3-2-0-2 record (13 points).
Last Thursday, Barber logged 10:19 of ice time in a 3-0 win over Great Britain. The 28-year-old did not skate in last Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over Sweden, or in Monday's 1-0 loss to the Czech Republic.
Barber did play in Tuesday's 4-2 win over Norway, logging the fourth-most minutes (19:14) for the red, white and blue.

The U.S. will face Switzerland in the quarterfinals on Thursday in Helsinki.

CZECH REPUBLIC

Forward Jakub Vrana and defenseman Filip Hronek helped the Czech Republic finish with a preliminary-round record of 4-0-1-2 (13 points).
In last Thursday's 5-1 win over Latvia, Hronek earned a plus-1 rating in 20:09 of ice time while Vrana played 11 minutes. Roughly 48 hours later, Vrana scored a power-play goal while Hronek played 21 solid minutes in a 4-1 win over Norway. Neither Hronek nor Vrana collected a point in Tuesday's 3-0 loss to Finland.
The Czech Republic will play Germany on Thursday in Helsinki.
