Canada 3 USA 1
HANNOVER, Germany (CP) - Canada is one win away from capturing the Deutschland Cup international hockey tournament after a 3-1 win over the United States on Saturday.
Former veteran NHLer Darryl Shannon scored the winner 6:05 into the second period while speedy winger Jonathan Sim, on loan from the Dallas Stars organization, capped the scoring at 14:44 of the second for Canada (2-0-0).
"Jon Sim has just been a fireball for us," said Canadian head coach Gary Green, who has stepped out of the broadcast booth for this tournament.
Defenceman Shawn Anderson, who plays for Nuremberg in Germany, opened the scoring 5:24 into the game before 7,759 fans. Chris Tancill tied it 1-1 for the U.S. with less than five minutes to go in the first period.
Mathieu Chouinard, on loan from the Ottawa Senators, stopped 24 shots.
"I was really happy with our third period. We really shut them down," Green said. "Chouinard played a solid game for us."
Now comes the final test, beating host Germany (1-1-0) to win the Deutschland Cup, which the Canadians won in 2000. Germany beat winless Switzerland 5-2 earlier Saturday.
"The guys know they'll have their work cut out for them with German fans solidly behind their team," Green said. "It's going to be a challenge.
"It's important for us to get the lead because they'll just sit back and trap us."
Counting exhibition wins over Switzerland and Germany earlier in the week, Green's team is 4-0 heading into Sunday.
"We've played a real high-tempo game," Green said. "We've been going right at them - Canadian-style."
