Canada’s National Junior Team is a perfect 3-0 at the 2019 IIHF World Junior Championship following its 5-1 win over the Czech Republic in front of 17,012 fans at Rogers Arena on Saturday night.

  • Maxime Comtois (Longueuil, Que./Drummondville, QMJHL) scored his team-leading fifth goal of the tournament, while MacKenzie Entwistle (Georgetown, Ont./Owen Sound, OHL), Morgan Frost (Aurora, Ont./Sault Ste. Marie, OHL), Alexis Lafrenière (Saint-Eustache, Que./Rimouski, QMJHL) added one goal apiece.
  • Ty Smith (Lloydminster, Alta./Spokane, WHL) and Jack Studnicka (Tecumseh, Ont./Oshawa, OHL) chipped in a pair of assists each.
  • Michael DiPietro (Amherstburg, Ont./Ottawa, OHL) stopped 23 of 24 shots he faced for his second win in as many starts.
  • Canada outshot the Czech Republic 30-24.

“I think we did a good job killing their speed. They’re a group that likes to hop in the rush, all five guys go and we had support taking away seams and offensive scoring again tonight. I think it all started from a solid d-zone, so all in all it was a great game and definitely better than the last two and we just have to keep building from here.” –  Michael  DiPietro
