Canada’s trounces Mountfield HK to advance to semifinals of Spengler Cup
DAVOS, Switzerland — Canada booked its berth in the Spengler Cup semifinals with a 5-1 victory over Mountfield HK on Thursday.
Andrew Ebbett, Maxim Noreau, and Mason Raymond all scored on the power play, to set up a rematch with HC Dinamo Minsk in Friday’s semifinals.
“That power play’s been really good for all three games, and again tonight,” said Canada’s coach Luke Richardson. “I thought we skated well and had the puck in our possession in the first period, they were forced to take penalties, and the power play again struck. . . and made them pay, so I thought that was the big difference.
“Three power play goals in all three games, that’s unheard of.”
