Music: {allcanada} Canada hits the mark

EDMONTON, Alta. -- Scott Harrington's four-point performance wasn't good enough to earn player of the game honours, but he'll take a win instead.

The 18-year-old defenceman is an unlikely point producer. In his two and a half seasons with the London Knights, Harrington's three-point effort in a game last season was a career high. He scored once and added three assists in Canada's 10-2 win over Team Denmark.

"Yeah, a bit of unfamiliar territory for myself, but it's always nice to put in a couple points," he said. "Something I wasn't expecting to do here."

Harrington got the offence started in the second period when Canada was already leading 4-0. His one-timer from the middle of the blue line caromed off the left post and in. Less than five minutes later, his wrist shot from the right side got through to bring Canada's lead to 6-0. Harrington was originally credited with the goal before it was awarded to Mark Stone.

"I knew it was his right away," Harrington said. "I didn't think it was mine and he had motioned that it was his.

"Obviously, he needs the points more than I do."

It was Stone's second goal of the game and his sixth of the tournament. Stone's earlier goal stood up as the game-winner.

The Danes began a late comeback in the third period. Despite trailing 7-0 heading into the final frame, Denmark came out and played its most inspired hockey. Canadian goaltender Mark Visentin was tracking a point shot that got knocked down in front before losing sight of it. Nicolai Meyer found it and slapped it past Visentin on the near post.

"I had a sense that their guy was going to whack it low blocker," said Visentin. "I just guessed and I almost got it. It was a smart play by their shooter putting it there."

A small pocket of fans booed Visentin, whose game has been under the microscope all tournament. Fans chanted Scott Wedgewood's name after he posted a shutout against the Czech Republic on Wednesday.

Denmark found a way to get another one past Visentin five minutes later. Nicklas Jensen fired a shot towards the net that was tipped by defenceman Emil Kristensen to cut the deficit to 7-2 midway through the final frame.

"I actually saw the top corner a little open," Jensen describing his assist. "I didn't even know it was tipped because the Canadian guy was kind of screening my shot, so (Kristensen) came up to me and said, 'yeah, I tipped it.' It was an amazing tip-in. I'm happy for him."

It was a nice moment for Jensen and the Danes, who were badly outplayed throughout the game. At times, Canada appeared to play as though on a power-play while at even strength. There wasn't an awful lot of passion in the early going from a team that was outmanned from the start.

After Stone's first goal of the game, Danish goaltender Sebastian Feuk simply shook his head in frustration. He made 41 stops on 51 shots in the loss.

Boone Jenner, who had his first name chanted later in the third period, cleared the zone by putting the puck through Jensen's skates on an early first-period goal. Brett Connolly tracked it down and scored the second goal of the game.

"I'm not used to getting passes between my feet from Boone," Jensen joked of his Oshawa teammate after the game. "It's always on the blade mostly.

"It was fun to play against him. Too bad I didn't' get a good hit on him, but all in all, it was a good game."

Brandon Gormley, who was named Canada's player of the game, eliminated any Danish hopes of a comeback with a surgical finish on a one-time pass. Gormley's shot beat Feuk over the glove and hit the bar where the post and crossbar meet on the way in for an 8-2 Canada lead midway through the third. He then shot the puck towards the goal on another play, hoping for a tip, but it wound up finding the back of the net.

"Freddie (Hamilton) was going to the net there and just basically put it on net and trying to get a tip and lucky enough it went in," Gormley said.

Brendan Gallagher closed out the scoring on a breakaway with less than five minutes remaining in regulation. Quinton Howden and Ryan Strome were the other two goal scorers for Canada.

At one point in the third period, a small collection of fans could be heard chanting for Team Denmark. It was later drowned out when the majority of the crowd chanted for the home team.

Canada's final round robin game is on Saturday against Team U.S.A. (1-1). Should the Americans beat the Czechs on Friday, a regulation win would give them first place in the group and a bye to the semifinal. A win by Canada or an overtime or shootout loss would mean Canada gets the bye to the semis.
