Canada has been dominant in the preliminary rounds of the men’s Olympic ice hockey tournament, as it tries to clinch the No.1 seed in the knockout stage.
Before that, though, Canada must go through France, which is winless entering its third game on Sunday morning. Canada and France will finish first and last in Group A, respectively, but seeding is still at play throughout the game.
Canada is a heavy favorite against a French team that features just one active NHL player. Therefore, expect Canada to produce a balanced attack instead of relying too heavily on a particular set of players.
Here’s how the box score for Canada’s game against France looks.
