HERNING — Caitlin Kraemer and Sarah Fillier scored, and Ann-Renée Desbiens made 25 saves as Canada finished perfect in the group stage of the world women’s hockey championship with a 2-0 win over Finland on Wednesday.
Finland provided by far the toughest opponent in Group B for Canada, which won its previous three games by a combined score of 24-1 while heavily outshooting the competition.
Kraemer opened the scoring at 3:22 of the first period, but Canada wouldn’t get any breathing room until Fillier’s goal at 6:44 of the third.
Finnish goaltender Sanni Ahola kept her team in the game, making 36 saves.
