Team Canada scored six times in the opening 20 minutes and coasted to an easy, 10-1 win over Norway Wednesday night at the World Junior Hockey Championships in Buffalo.
Brayden Schenn had four goals and an assist, Eric Gudbranson scored twice and added an assist and Ryan Ellis chipped in with three helpers, as Canada won for the third time in as many games.
Rasmus Juell scored the lone goal for Norway.
The Norweigans managed 32 shots on Canadian goalie Mark Visentin, who made his first start of the tournament.
Brett Connolly, Quinton Howden and Ryan Johansen each had two assists in the win.
Canada played with just 10 forwards, as Zack Kassian (suspension), Jaden Schwartz and Cody Eakin (injuries) all sat out. Defenceman Calvin de Haan also sat out due to injury.
Kassian will serve the second of his two-game suspension on Friday night, as the Canadians take on Sweden in their final round-robin game.
