Canada Prepares for World Junior Quarterfinals Against Czech Republic

After discipline issues and scoring struggles, Team Canada looks to rebound and avoid back-to-back medal-less tournaments.

  • Canada faces the Czech Republic in the quarterfinals tonight, a rematch of last year's elimination that ended Canada's tournament early.
  • Discipline has been a major focus after Canada took 11 penalties in a 4-1 loss to the U.S., conceding three power-play goals.
  • Canada's offense has struggled, scoring just 10 goals in four games and only one at even strength since December 26.
  • The team leads the tournament in shots but has the lowest shooting success rate, converting just 5.78% of attempts.
  • Forward Porter Martone returns to the lineup, while goaltender Carter George leads the tournament with a .964 save percentage.
