But after falling behind by two goals, minus one of their best players, who was ejected, the Norwegians fought back and nearly upset the Slovaks.
Miroslav Satan's goal midway through the third period stood as the winner, and Slovakia advance to a quarterfinal game against Sweden with a tentative 4-3 victory at Canada Hockey Place. But forward Lubos Bartecko will not play against Sweden, after being hit in the head by Norway's Ole Kristian Tollefsen, and taken from the ice on a stretcher.
