Canada Extends Unbeaten Streak in Fribourg
The Canadian national team secured a 3‑1 victory over Slovenia on Thursday, preserving its perfect record in the world hockey championship and reinforcing its dominance in Pool B.
Emmitt Finnie opened the scoring and later added an assist, while Denton Mateychuk and Dylan Cozens contributed the other two goals, showcasing a balanced offensive attack that kept the Slovenian defense under constant pressure.
In net, Jet Greaves turned away 13 shots, allowing only a late consolation marker from Rozle Bohinc, who struck in the final minute to narrow the margin but could not alter the outcome.
The win propelled Canada to the top of Pool B with 14 points after five games, a lead that puts them three points ahead of Slovakia and four ahead of the Czech Republic, both of whom are watching the standings closely.
Looking ahead, Canada will meet Slovakia on Sunday before turning its attention to a clash with Czechia on Tuesday, matches that could further cement their position at the summit of the group.
