It would appear the goaltending debate will be in full swing for the next  24 hours after the performance put forth from Scott Wedgewood, making 26 saves to ensure the Canadian win.

The score fails to tell the whole story as this was a one goal game until late in the second period.  On the Powerplay, Wedgewood also picked up an assist as he took it up on himself to send what looked a hail mary of a pass to Freddie Hamilton at the Czech blueline.  The puck was put in the back of the net just a few moments later by Ryan Strome.

Winnipeg Jets prospect Mark Scheifele had a pair of goals while Strome, Mark Stone and Brett Connolly rounded out the scoring.

Canada continued its stellar performance on the Penalty Kill as they remained perfect on the tournament.  Canada now moves to 2-0 and sits atop Pool B.

Czech goaltender Peter Mrazek looked impressive as he stopped 33 of 38 shots and a penalty shot in a losing effort.  

Not that i need to hype the New Years Day matchup between the Americans and the Canadians, but with the loss to the Finns It's going to get very interesting for the Americans as they may be thrust into a do-or-die scenario just to secure a birth into the elimination rounds.

Needless to say you will not want to miss this game!

In Pool A games today, The Swedes squeaked out a victory over a surprising team from Switzerland who has proven to be a tough opponent to play against!  The Russians also won 3-1 over Slovakia giving them the lead in Pool A by virtue of Sweden's only gaining 2 points for their shootout victory.
