Goaltender Dylan Garand (Victoria, B.C. / Kamloops Blazers) stopped all eight shots sent his way in the victory to lead a trio of performances from Western Conference players.

Late in the second period, Justin Sourdif (Surrey, B.C. / Vancouver Giants) scored to make it 6-0 while Seth Jarvis (Winnipeg, Man. / Portland Winterhawks) picked up an assist on Canada’s second goal of the game.
