The Group B game in Fribourg was a rematch of last year\u2019s quarterfinal when Denmark stunned star-studded Canada 2-1 and ended its quest for a 29th title.<\/p>\n

This time Canada left it till late to translate its dominance into goals.<\/p>\n

The Canadians needed 28 shots to break the deadlock despite Denmark goalie Nicolaj Henriksen playing his maiden game at the worlds.<\/p>\n

Porter Martone scored the opener 28 seconds into the third period on a cross-goal pass by Crosby to put the favorite ahead.<\/p>\n

Gabriel Vilardi doubled the advantage 3:02 into the frame and Denton Mateychuk buried a rebound 31 seconds later to make it 3-0 after Crosby set him up.<\/p>\n

Ryan O\u2019Reilly and Parker Wotherspoon finished the scoring with a goal each after Crosby found them unmarked in front of the net.<\/p>\n

Teenage captain Macklin Celebrini had two assists and Jet Greaves stopped 15 shots.<\/p>\n

Nick Olesen had the lone lone goal for Denmark. <\/p>\n

It was the third straight win for Canada after dispatching Sweden 5-3 and Italy 6-0.<\/p>\n

US down again<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s up and down for the defending champion United States at the worlds.<\/p>\n

Lenni Hameenaho scored twice and assisted on another one to lead Finland past the U.S. 6-2 for a third straight win in Group A in Zurich.<\/p>\n

The U.S. lost to host Switzerland 3-1 in the opener then defeated Britain 5-1.<\/p>\n

Hameenaho wristed a shot past goalie Joseph Woll after a turnover to put Finland 1-0 up 6:06 into the game.<\/p>\n

The U.S. came back 1:38 later thanks to Matt Coronato\u2019s one-timer.<\/p>\n

Finland then pulled away with four straight goals.<\/p>\n

Patrik Puistola and Aatu Raty scored in the first period followed in the middle period by Hameenaho on a power play and Saku Maenalanen 31 seconds apart.<\/p>\n

That forced the U.S. to pull Woll, who allowed five goals from 10 shots, and send on Devin Cooley.<\/p>\n

Ryan Leonard reduced the deficit with the second U.S. goal in the final period but Anton Lundell completed the victory.<\/p>\n

The U.S. has Germany next on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Later Monday, host Switzerland played Germany in Zurich and Sweden met Czechia in Fribourg.<\/p>\n
