Canada seized control midway through the opening period, erupting for five goals in just under six minutes to put the contest out of reach. The scoring came in rapid succession, overwhelming Slovakia’s defensive structure and showcasing the depth that has become Canada’s calling card in this tournament. Seven different players found the back of the net, while 14 skaters registered at least one point. Michael Misa, Porter Martone, Sam O’Reilly, and Cole Beaudoin each contributed a goal and an assist as Canada spread the offense across all four lines.

As the tournament has progressed, Canada has seemingly gotten their offense rolling, and it showed up once again in their quarterfinals matchup against Slovakia, where they won 7-1. They will be looking for further revenge (Canada won their group-play matchup) against a Czechia team that eliminated them in the quarterfinals the last two years at the tournament. After playing only once in the group play stage, Jack Ivankovic (Nashville Predators) wasn’t tested much against Slovakia. Still, he was strong when he was, and it sounds like he will be the starter for the Canadians, taking the reins from Carter George (Los Angeles Kings).
