After a disappointing season that left him frustrated, Detroit Red Wings forward Tomas Jurco is off to a good start at the World Championship.

Jurco scored the game-winning goal and added an assist Saturday in Slovakia's 4-1 victory over Hungary in St. Petersburg, Russia.

Jurco snapped a 1-1 tie at 17:43 of the first period. He redirected a blast by Andrej Sekera. Sekera scored on a give-and-go with Jurco to make it 3-1 at 15:09 of the second period.

Jurco had a team-high four shots on goal and a plus-2 rating during 14:17 of ice time.

Jurco had just four goals and two assists in 44 games with the Red Wings this season. He was a frequent healthy scratch and did not appear in the first-round playoff series against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
