PARIS — A dynamite power play, and a little bit of attitude, got Canada back on the winning track at the world hockey championship.
Colton Parayko scored twice as Canada clinched first place in its preliminary-round group with a 5-0 win over Norway on Monday.
Both of Parayko’s goals came on the power play as Canada went 4-for-5 with the man advantage. Brayden Schenn and Ryan O’Reilly also scored with Canada a man up, while Mark Scheifele added an even-strength goal.
Coming off a 3-2 overtime loss to Switzerland on Saturday, the Canadians came into Monday’s game “a little big angry,” according to coach Jon Cooper.
