Hart, Blackwood combine for 24-save shutout as Canada blanks Denmark 5-0
KOSICE, Slovakia — Carter Hart and Mackenzie Blackwood combined for a 24-save shutout as Canada routed Denmark 5-0 on Monday in round-robin play at the men’s hockey world championship.
Hart started in net, making 22 saves in 50 minutes and Blackwood stopped two shots in the remaining 10 minutes of work.
Sam Reinhart had a pair of goals to help the Canadians improve to 5-1 at the international tournament. Pierre-Luc Dubois, Jared McCann and Jonathan Marchessault also scored, with Mark Stone adding two assists.
“I think we are getting more and more comfortable every game, and we are all comfortable with scoring goals and chipping in offensively,” said Reinhart. “So it doesn’t matter who is (scoring the goals). As long as the guys are finding a way to contribute, whether it’s without the puck or capitalizing on an opportunity, that’s what is important.”
