Game Recap: IIHF WJC Team Canada vs. Team Switzerland, Canada Clinches

Team Canada clinches playoff spot at WJC after shootout win over Team Switzerland.

Game Summary

With the drama surrounding Mackenzie Blackwood, it was no surprise to see him in net the first chance that Team Canada got. And that was today's game against Switzerland.

Canada took an early penalty and the Swiss were up 1-0. During Canada's first power play, the Swiss played feisty and put pressure on them enough that they couldn't generate a lot of plays. With a long shot from the blue line, the puck pin balled around a few players and trickled in behind Blackwood to put the Swiss up by two goals.
