Canada Beats China in Men's Hockey, Advances to 2022 Winter Olympics Quarterfinals

Canada advanced to the quarterfinals of the men's hockey tournament at the 2022 Winter Olympics with a 7-2 victory over China on Tuesday at Beijing National Indoor Stadium.

Jordan Weal and Adam Tambellini each scored twice to pace the Canadian attack, while Eric O'Dell, Eric Staal and Jack McBain also found the net in the team's second straight win over the Chinese squad after beating the host nation 5-0 to close out the group stage.

Canada moves on to face Sweden in the quarters.

Weal lit the lamp twice in the opening 10 minutes to give the Canadians an early advantage, but the game wasn't without at least a hint of drama as China's An Jian scored late in the first period to keep the hosts within striking distance at the first intermission.
