Spokane Chiefs captain Ty Smith and Team Canada advanced to the gold medal game at the 2020 IIHF World Junior Championship with a 5-0 drubbing of Finland on Saturday. They will face Russia in the finals on Sunday.

CAN 5, FIN 0 — Box Score

Smith finished with 2 shots on goal in just over 17 minutes of ice time as the Canadians cruised to victory over the Finns, with the game never in doubt.

Canada scored three goals in the first four minutes of regulation and didn’t look back, adding another before the first intermission and the fifth in the second period to cap the scoring.
