Brett Howden scored his first two goals of the tournament and Canada flexed its offensive muscles as the team cruised to an 8-0 win over Denmark on Saturday night.
With the win the Canadians concluded the round robin with a 3-0-1-0 record, clinching first place in Group A.
Canada jumped out to an early lead, thanks to a goal by St. Louis Blues prospect Robert Thomas less than five minutes into the game. Howden and Sam Steel would also add tallies before the period was out to give the Canadians a 3-0 lead after the first.
The goals kept coming in the second as Cale Makar scored his second in as many games, and Howden deflected a Cal Foote point shot for his second of the contest.
Alex Formenton, Michael McLeod, and Drake Batherson each chipped in singles in the final period to round out the scoring. With McLeod's marker, Canada has now gotten goals from 13 different skaters in its first four games.
Carter Hart was back between the pipes for Canada after giving up three goals in a heart-breaking shootout lossagainst the Americans on Friday night. The Philadelphia Flyers prospect was perfect, turning away all 18 Denmark shots.
Canada will now await the conclusion of the preliminary round where it will play the fourth-placed finisher of Group B in the quarterfinals.
