HLINKA GRETZKY CUP ROUNDUP: CANADA, SWEDEN DOMINATE, FINLAND FINISHES ROUND ROBIN

Canada and Sweden both scored nine goals on their opponents, while Finland topped Germany in the second last day of round-robin play at the Hlinka-Gretzky Cup. Canada's dominant goal-scoring run continued on Tuesday, with the team beating Slovakia 9-1 in its second game of the tournament.

Canada beat Switzerland 14-0 in the team's opening contest, giving them a goal differential of 23-1 heading into the final day of round-robin action.

Brayden Yager started the fun with a power-play marker at 5:15. It was Canada's first man advantage of the period in a frame that saw them have four, but Slovakia's Samuel Urban looked good in the Slovak net.

Zachary Benson scored Canada's second goal at 15:59 at 4-on-4, just three seconds after Leo Eperjesi was sent to the Slovakian penalty box for cross-checking.

The second period was a dominant effort for Canada through and through. Yager scored his second of the night at 27:40 to make it 2-0, with Tanner Howe scoring two minutes after that. Riley Heidt and Cam Allen closed out the period with their own goals, giving Canada a six-goal advantage.

Canada didn't relent in the third period, with Heidt scoring at 44:09 and Ethan Gauthier scoring another 30 seconds later. Tanner Molendyk made it 9-0 late, and it looked like that was going to be it, but Peter Cisar scored with under four minutes to go to break Carson Bjarnason's shutout bid. Still, Canada pulled away with the easy victory, outshooting the Slovaks 63-20.
