±«ÓãÖ±²¥ grad gets goose-egg at world championship in Finland

Published: 8 April 2009

HÄMEENLINNA, Finland – ±«ÓãÖ±²¥ grad Kim St-Pierre made 15 saves for her second shutout in as many starts and current Martlet rearguard Catherine Ward set up a power play goal as Canada blanked host Finland 8-0 in the playoff round of the IIHF world hockey championship Wednesday.

It was the 11th career goose-egg in international competition for St-Pierre, who improved her record to 2-0 at the tourney.

Canada, which improved to 44-0-1 lifetime versus Finland, led 2-0 and 4-0 after the first and second periods, respectively. They outshot the Finns 49-15.

Jennifer Boterill of Winnipeg scored twice for the Canadians, while 18-year-old Marie-Philip Poulin of Beauceville, Que., chipped in with a goal and two assists.

Gina Kingsbury of Rouyn Noranda, Que., Sarah Vaillancourt of Sherbrooke Que., Meghan Agosta of Ruthven, Ont., Jayna Hefford of Kingston, Ont., captain Hayley Wickenheiser of Shaunavon, Sask., also scored for Canada (3-0).

Canada's next playoff game is Friday against defending champion U.S. (TSN, noon ET). The Americans face the Finns on Thursday and will have less rest heading into their game against the Canadians.

The two countries with the best record in the three-team playoff round advance to Sunday's championship game (TSN, noon ET). If the teams are all tied at 1-1, goal differential between them would be the tiebreaker.
