Canada kicks off WJHC with 14-0 blowout of Denmark

Canada jumped out to an utterly dominant start at the 2019 world juniors, running over Denmark 14-0 on Wednesday night to open round-robin play.

The defending gold medalist got contributions from just about everybody, but Philadelphia Flyers prospect Morgan Frost led the way with three goals and two assists. Captain Maxime Comtois was also a huge factor, becoming just the fifth Canadian player in history to score four goals in a game at the tournament, according to Mark Masters of TSN.

Canada had eight other players put forth multi-point efforts and outshot Denmark 42-12.

Both teams are back in action Thursday, with Canada taking on Switzerland and Denmark facing another tough test versus Russia.
