millbank Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 World Jr. Championships Goaltender Carey Price stopped 31 shots for the shutout in Canada's 2-0 win over host Sweden to open the world junior hockey championship Tuesday. Price extended the country's shutout streak at this tournament to 211 minutes 50 seconds, as Canada hasn't give up a goal since its final round-robin game of the 2006 world junior tournament in Vancouver. Moncton Wildcats defenceman Luc Bourdon and Val-d'Or Foreurs forward Brad Marchand scored for Canada. Val-d'Or defenceman and Canadian captain Kristopher Letang each had two assists. The Canadians played a textbook road game by scoring first to quiet the Swedish crowd at Ejendals Arena, winning the battle on special teams and getting quality goaltending from Price of the Tri-City Americans. The Bourdon and Marchand goals came on power plays and Canada's penalty killers held the Swedes scoreless on seven man-advantages. The tournament opened with stunning upsets as Germany got by the U.S. 2-1 in overtime in a Pool A game in Leksand and Belarus stung Finland 4-3 in Mora in Pool B.
