Canada dominated Group A, not losing one game. The team secured five regulation victories and two in overtime. Specifically the team’s clash with Austria proved to be quite the game. Canada initially led 6-1 before the team allowed five straight goal and was forced to go into overtime. Canada netted 32 goals during the seven games and conceded 18.
Despite having nine NHL players, Slovakia has played inconsistently. The country lost to Germany, Latvia and Sweden, but managed a 5-4 overtime win against the United States. The team’s inconsistency stems from its defense conceding 23 goals and scoring 26. That’s quite different from Canada who has conceded two or fewer goals in seven of its last 11 games.
