| TORONTO -- The Team Europe juggernaut rolls on at the World Cup of Hockey, which sets up a must-win situation for Team USA on Tuesday against host Canada.Team Europe, lightly regarded to start the tournament, moved to 2-0 on Monday, thanks to Leon Draisaitls breakaway winner that gave the team a 3-2 victory 2:06 into overtime.Coupled with Europes stunning 3-0 victory over the United States on Saturday in the teams first game of the tournament, Mondays win puts Europe in excellent position to move to the semifinals while forcing the United States to beat Canada on Tuesday (8 p.m., ESPN) to keep their hopes of advancing alive.The two teams with the highest point totals through three preliminary-round games in each of the tournaments two four-team groups move on to a one-game semifinal. The winners of those games meet in the best-of-three finals.Team Europe, perhaps a little less engaged than it was against the favored Americans in their first game, allowed a sloppy, undisciplined Czech team to hang around Monday afternoon, and it nearly cost them.The Czechs, now 0-1-1 after being thumped 6-0 by Canada in their tournament opener, wasted a sparkling effort by Petr Mrazek, who stopped 38 of 41 shots, including a penalty shot by European captain Anze Kopitar early in the second period. Mrazek was forced into acrobatic save after acrobatic save, thanks to a rash of Czech penalties. In all, the Czechs took six minor penalties plus a penalty shot infraction for handling the puck in the crease. They were guilty of multiple turnovers and missed assignments in their zone.Still, the Czechs righted the ship in the third period by launching 13 shots at Team Europe goalie Jaroslav Halak, who was strong for the second game in a row for the Europeans. Twice the Czechs came back from one-goal deficits to force extra time, then they had three shots on goal in the extra session.Three stars1. Petr Mrazek, G, Czech Republic: This game could have been 6-2 for Team Europe, were it not for the play of Mrazek, who covered up a host of his teams ills. They should be buying him a big downtown Toronto dinner for at least giving them a chance in this one.2. Mats Zuccarello, W, Europe: The New York Rangers winger scored Team Europes second goal as Mrazek misplayed a shot off his catching hand. Then Zuccarello spotted Draisaitl breaking free through the neutral zone and hit him with a perfect pass on the winner.3. Zdeno Chara, D, Europe: There was consternation about the play of the Boston Bruins captain in the pre-tournament, but he has been solid through two games for the surprising Europeans and scored the teams first goal against the Czechs. His continued strong play and leadership will be key to keeping the magical run going at the World Cup of Hockey.

The Redskins announced Monday that the quarterback who led the team to the Super Bowl championship in the 1987 season will serve as a personnel executive. Jacksonville Jaguars general manager Dave Caldwell viewed bringing in Greg Hardy for a workout last week as a fact-finding mission rather than an attempt to bolster their pass rush.Caldwell said Monday that the Jaguars didnt intend to sign Hardy after his two-day workout last Wednesday and Thursday but wanted to see him on the field and meet with him so they would have enough information about the free-agent defensive end should they decide to pursue him in the future.It was really to find out more about him so we dont have any questions going into the season, Caldwell said. Theres no what-ifs for us right now. There could have been a what-if Week 3, Week 4 or into the preseason, but we kind of have our questions answered as to our game plan for him.... It was an opportunity for us -- heres a guy that was a franchise defensive end two years ago sitting out on the street -- to bring him in, work him out and try to find out the facts where hes at, the truth behind everything that surrounds him and just do our homework.Caldwell said the team spoke with Hardy about his domestic violence conviction and eventual dismissal as well as events that transpired last season while he was a member of the Dallas Cowboys. However, Caldwell said he wouldnt go into the specifics of what the team asked and Hardys responses.We brought him in and he did a workout, Caldwell said. Its not often you get your chance to put your hands on a player of that caliber to work him out. So well just see where its at. We have no imminent plans of signing him at this point, but it was good to get him in here and find out about him.Hardy, 27, has 40 sacks in six seasons, including six last season. The Cowboys did not renew his contract, and he went unsigned during free agency.Hardy was suspended for the first four games of the 2015 season for violating the NFLs personal conduct policy in connection with a 2014 domestic violence incident. He was accused of assaulting theen-girlfriend Nicole Holder; he allegedly threw her into a bathtub and on a futon covered with guns and tried to choke her.ddddddddddddA judge in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, found him guilty on charges of domestic violence in July 2014.Hardy denied the charges and said Holder was under the influence of alcohol and was angry because he told her to leave his home. He appealed the conviction, and the case was dismissed in February 2015 after prosecutors said they were unable to locate Holder. The prosecutors also said Holder had reached a settlement with Hardy.In addition, Hardy stirred controversy throughout the 2015 season with several comments, including saying he was going to come out guns blazing in his return to the field. Hardy also shoved an assistant coach and got into a shouting match on the sideline with Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant.Caldwell said he was aware of a potential public relations backlash if the team were to sign Hardy and said that decision would not be made lightly.Domestic violence is a serious issue, Caldwell said. Theres no place for it in the world, let alone the NFL. But I think for us, were going to do whats best for our team. We have 52 players that want to win. We have a coaching staff that wants to win as much as our fan base. Were going to turn over every rock, but not at any price.The Jaguars lack a veteran edge rusher and did have conversations with Hardys agent during free agency, but did not pursue him at that time.Jacksonville tried to sign Olivier Vernon in free agency, but he agreed to a five-year, $85 million deal with the New York Giants. The Jaguars top two edge rushers are Dante Fowler, Jr., who missed his rookie season in 2015 after suffering a torn left ACL on the first day of rookie minicamp, and rookie Yannick Ngakoue, the teams third-round draft pick.
