The Czech Republic dominated Finland 5-1 today in the 5th place game of the U20 World Junior Championships to end Finland's tournament in disappointing fashion. Lightning prospect Riku Helenius went the distance allowing 4 goals on 25 shots for the loss.

Helenius, who missed almost the entire 2006-2007 season with shoulder surgery, finished the tournament 2-2-0 with 1 shutout, a 3.36 GAA, and a slightly horrific .864 save percentage.
