Canada dominated a second straight overmatched opponent in two days with a resounding 7-1 victory over Denmark on Monday at the 2018 IIHF World Championships. The win followed Sunday's 10-0 thrashing of Korea and improved Canada's record to 2-0-1 in preliminary play.

Connor McDavid had three assists for Canada and leads the team with seven points in three games. McDavid's Edmonton Oilers teammate Ryan Nugent-Hopkins scored twice, while New York Islanders teammates Josh Bailey (goal, assist) and Mathew Barzal (two assists) both had two points for Team Canada.

Thirteen of Canada's 18 skaters recorded at least one point on Monday against host country Denmark. The Danes started 31-year-old Sebastian Dahm in goal and not Toronto Maple Leafs netminder Frederik Andersen, resting him for more winnable games in this tournament as Denmark seeks to secure a spot in the quarterfinals. Denmark has a shootout win over Germany in three games, so far.

Canada's Curtis McElhinney lost his shutout bid midway through the third period on a deflected shot. He stopped 14 of 15 shots on Monday after stopping all 22 he faced against Korea the day before.

Canada has a complete day off Tuesday before practicing on Wednesday and returning to action Thursday against Norway.
