Team Canada couldn't break through the Swedish wall in their third round robin game at the 2024 IIHF World Junior Championship.

Denton Mateychuk, Brayden Yager and Canada were shutout 2-0 by Sweden on Friday, dropping Canada's record to 2-1.

Sweden has yet to allow a goal through three round robin games and has locked up first place in Group A with the win.

Mateychuk was injured in the first period, but the Moose Jaw Warriors captain returned later in the period and finished with 22:51 of ice time.

Yager had one shot on goal over 11:52 of ice time in the loss.

Team Canada will now finish the round robin on Sunday against Germany at 12:30 p.m. Saskatchewan time.
