Logan Shaw, twice, Daniel Carr, Noel Hoefenmayer, of the Laval Rocket, and Jonathan Hazen also found the back of the net for the Canadian team.
“It was good to win. We have to avoid the penalty box, but we stuck together and, overall, we did our job, Shaw said after the game.
“It will be enough for us to do the same in the semi-final. Play simple North American style, block shots and pay the price to win. If we continue on this path, we will do well. »

Colton Ellis made 17 saves to sign his second victory of the tournament.
In the semi-final, Canada will face HC Dynamo or the Tigers on December 30.
