MINSK, Belarus - For the second time at the world hockey championship, Team Canada benefited from a five-minute major penalty. Jared Spurgeon Jersey . Only this time it could prove much more costly. Alex Burrows was knocked out of the game by a knee-on-knee hit and did not return for the rest of Canadas 6-1 win over Italy on Friday at Chizhovka Arena. Cody Hodgson scored on the ensuing power play from the five-minute major penalty on Italian forward Joachim Ramoser. But with goals from Joel Ward, Jason Chimera, Kyle Turris, another from Hodgson and a final one from Brayden Schenn, Canada probably didnt need that boost. Against the Czech Republic on Monday, Canada scored twice on a five-minute major after captain Kevin Bieksa took a stick to the face, chipping a tooth and requiring stitches in his mouth. Bieksa didnt miss a shift. His Vancouver Canucks teammate Burrows was not so lucky. After writhing in pain after the hit, he needed to be helped off the ice by teammates Brayden Schenn and Nathan MacKinnon and did not put any pressure on his right leg. Without Burrows and defenceman Jason Garrison, who did not dress because of an illness, Canada was down to 18 skaters to Italys 20. That wasnt a factor as the Canadians won for the fifth time in six games to set up a likely Group A title game against Sweden on Sunday. In stopping 21 of the 22 shots he faced, James Reimer might have won the right to start that game, though Ben Scrivens won each of his two starts. Through the first five games in Minsk, neither goalie has been tested by a strong opponent. That included Friday, when Canada rolled over Italy. After Italy had Canada on its heels in the early going, Ward continued his strong tournament by scoring the games first goal at 13:07. Ward forced a neutral-zone turnover, had Mark Scheifele going to the net on the rush and snapped a shot short-side on Daniel Bellissimo, a Toronto native. Ramoser made what looked like unintentional knee-on-knee contact with Burrows with 56 seconds left in the first period. A minute and 39 seconds into the second, Hodgson scored on a rebound to make it 2-0. Canadas third goal came at even strength but with a delayed penalty on Italy as Ward drew a call before Scheifele set up Chimera on a two-on-one rush at 6:02. Not long after at the 9:19 mark, Matt Read got things going and delivered a sharp pass to Turris for his second short-handed goal in as many games. Hodgson added his second of the day and sixth of the tournament 16:15 into the second with a rebound goal from in tight on Bellissimo that made it 5-0. Bellissimo did not return at the start of the third after giving up five goals on 22 shots, replaced by backup Andreas Bernard. Italy then broke up Reimers shutout 1:12 into the third period on a deflection goal by David Borrelli, who is from Sault Ste. Marie, Ont. At 16:30, Schenn scored to put the finishing touch on the rout. Notes: Bellissimo and Borrelli are two of 10 Canadian-born players on Italys roster. The others are Daniel Sullivan, Brian Ihnacak and Davide Nicoletti from Toronto, Giulio Scandella from Montreal, Nate DiCasmirro from Aitkokan, Ont., Dan Tudin from Orleans, Ont., Trevor Johnson from Trail, B.C., and Vince Rocco from Woodbridge, Ont.Custom Minnesota Wild Jerseys .

The Red Storm, who play some of their regular season games in the Worlds Most Famous Arena, are off to a 4-0 start to the 2014-15 campaign as they go up against an undefeated Bulldogs squad. Two days ago, St. Johns advanced to the championship round of the tournament by taking out Minnesota by a score of 70-61. With the victory in the semifinals, the Red Storm are off to their best start since they opened 6-0 during the 2009-10 campaign. Meanwhile, the Bulldogs are doing exactly what was to be expected of a top-10 program, plowing through the competition and winning every game by double figures. The first four wins of the campaign came at home in Washington, the other coming two nights ago versus Georgia (88-76) at the Garden. Gonzaga leads the all-time series by a count of 3-1, a relationship that dates back to 1960 when the Red Storm won the first meeting, 97-69. The latest clash took place in 2011 during the NCAA Tournaments second round in Denver, Colorado. The Bulldogs scored the first points of the game against Georgia and never looked back, converting 50.0 percent from the floor and outscoring the other Bulldogs by 10 at the free-throw line, en route to the 12-point victory. Kyle Wiltjer scored 32 points as he accounted for half of the teams 52 field goal attempts, followed by Kevin Pangos with 22 points, to go along with six assists and three steals. Byron Wesley missed five of his sixx shots from the floor, but countered with a 10-of-12 effort at the stripe in order to finish with 12 points. Ryan Suter Jersey. Thanks to some lopsided blowouts, the Bulldogs are generating a hefty 93.4 ppg at the moment, shooting 55.1 percent from the field, which is considerably higher than the 33.8 percent accuracy of the opponents. Wiltjer is one of five players in double figures with his 16.8 ppg, followed by Pangos and Wesley with 12.6 and 12.4 ppg, respectively. In addition to being a 56.3 percent shooter out on the perimeter, Pangos has also issued 29 assists for a squad that has a better than 2-to-1 assist to turnover ratio. Unlike Minnesota, the Red Storm have an intimate knowledge of MSG and made sure that they benefited from that as they claimed the nine-point win on Wednesday night. DAngel Harrison came up a rebound shy of a double-double as he tallied a game-high 19 points and while he shot only 5-of-17 from the field, he made up for that lackluster effort by registering six steals. Rysheed Jordan filled his stat line with 18 points, seven rebounds, three assists and three steals, followed by Chris Obekpa with 10 points and nine boards. St. Johns, which logged a staggering 16 steals against Minnesota, has been focusing quite a bit on defense in the early going. Opponents have converted only 34.5 percent of their field goal attempts and are turning the ball over an average of just over 14 times per contest. From an offensive standpoint, Harrison is responsible for 18.5 ppg and Jordan another 17.5 ppg for a squad that is outscoring the competition by 13.6 ppg at this stage of the campaign. Cheap Orioles Jerseys Online Red Sox Jerseys China Cheap Yankees Jerseys Authentic Cheap Rays Jerseys Wholesale Blue Jays Jerseys Free Shipping Cheap White Sox Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Indians Jerseys Tigers Jerseys China Cheap Royals Jerseys Cheap Twins Jerseys Cheap Astros Jerseys Cheap Angels Jerseys Wholesale Athletics Jerseys Cheap Stitched Mariners Jerseys Rangers Jerseys China Cheap Braves Jerseys Cheap Stitched Marlins JerseysCheap Mets Jerseys Wholesale Phillies Jerseys Cheap Nationals Jerseys Cheap Cubs Jerseys Cheap Reds Jerseys Wholesale Brewers Jerseys Free Shipping Cheap Pirates Jerseys Cheap Cardinals Jerseys Cheap Diamondbacks Jerseys Wholesale Rockies Jerseys Dodgers Jerseys China Padres Jerseys China Cheap Giants Jerseys ' ' '
