Bedard shines as Canada gets back on track at world juniors with 11-2 rout of Germany
Olen Zellweger chipped in with three assists as Canadian head coach Dennis Williams shook up three of his forward lines — including splitting up Bedard and Wright.
Canada, which improved to 16-0 against the Germans all-time at the men’s under-20 showcase, will now quickly pivot to face Austria — outscored 20-0 through its two tournament games — on Thursday back at Scotiabank Centre. That included players questioning their own readiness and preparation, while Fantilli and Bedard each attempted and failed “The Michigan” lacrosse-style move early — sequences viewed afterwards as symptomatic of the Canadians’ loose approach against an underdog opponent.
Bedard, who had four goals in an 11-2 victory over Austria last December before those world juniors were shelved by COVID-19, then made it 3-1 when the silky smooth 17-year-old took a stretch feed and ripped his a shot past Wolf and got another early in the second on a goaltending miscue.Article content
That’s when the floodgates really opened for Canada against Germany, which has only two players drafted by NHL teams — including Quapp, who didn’t dress Wednesday.
