(Anders Wiklund/TT News Agency via AP) Nathan MacKinnon scored two goals to lead Canada to a 5-1 victory over Austria at the ice hockey world championship on Thursday. The Colorado Avalanche center also had an assist to help move Canada atop Group A with Sweden. Both teams have 4-0 records and 12 points. Travis Konecny and Will Cuylle scored and added an assist each for Canada, Sidney Crosby also scored and defenseman Brandon Montour had three assists. Marc-Andre Fleury stopped 15 shots in net. With Canada 1-0 down, MacKinnon took care of the comeback in the middle period. He started the rally 1:59 into the frame, scoring from the top of the left circle just eight seconds into a power play. MacKinnon one-timed a slap shot to put Canada 2-1 ahead with 6:50 remaining when the referee was signaling a penalty and Canada pulled Fleury for the extra attacker. Konecny added the third 8:32 into the final period, knocking in a cross goal pass from Cuylle. Konecny fed Cuylle with 8:18 left to roof a slap shot to make it 4-1. Crosby completed the win with his second goal at the tournament with 1:33 remaining. Vinzenz Rohrer gave the Austrians a 1-0 lead 11:20 into the game on a breakaway. It was only the second goal Canada conceded in its four games. Austria goaltender Florian Vorauer made 23 saves in the first period. Austria has two points from four games played. In Herning, defending champion Czech Republic cruised past newcomer Hungary 6-1 to take the Group B lead with 11 points. David Pastrnak led the Czechs with two goals and an assist. Jakub Flek, Petr Kodytek, Ondrej Beranek and Lukas Sedlak also scored. Earlier in Herning, Sven Andrighetto scored four goals to lift Switzerland to a 5-1 victory over Germany. Switzerland is second in Group B with 10 points. Germany is in third after registering its first loss. After Damien Riat opened the scoring 4:25 into the middle period, Andrighetto needed a span of 9:04 to complete a hat trick and build a four-goal lead in the frame. He added with his fourth — and second on a power play — in the final period. Swiss goaltender Leonardo Genoni made 21 saves. Following problems with the quality of the ice in Herning, organizers extended the time for breaks between the periods from 15 to 17 minutes. On Tuesday, play had to be suspended in the opening period of a game between Germany and Norway and again in the middle period due to a hole in the ice. In Stockholm, Finland routed Slovenia 9-1 to move to the third place in Group A with eight points. Slovenia remains without a point.

US blanks newcomer Hungary for 2nd straight shutout at hockey worlds, Canada routs Latvia
HERNING, Denmark (AP) — The United States routed newcomer Hungary 6-0 for its second shutout victory at the ice hockey world championship on Sunday. Canada recorded its second win from two games by routing Latvia 7-1. Frank Nazar had two goals and an assist, Cutter Gauthier scored twice and Conor Garland and Logan Cooley added a goal and an assist each for the Americans in the Group B game in Herning. Nazar deflected in a shot by Logan Cooley to open the scoring with 5:53 left in the opening period and added his second 2:47 later from behind the goal line off goalie Adam Vay. 'It felt really good, obviously,' the 21-year-old Chicago Blackhawks forward said. 'There's nothing like scoring a goal and getting that feeling, especially after the NHL season's over, continuing to score and just build that confidence and feel good out there on the ice.' Gauthier made it 3-0 from the right circle midway through the second period. The next two goals came within 41 seconds of each other early in the final period. Gauthier roofed his second 1:13 into the frame and Garland netted the fifth from close range. Cooley finished the scoring into an open net. Goaltender Jeremy Swayman stopped 13 shots. The U.S. had previously blanked Denmark 5-0 and will face Switzerland on Monday. Canada wins again Travis Konecny had two goals and an assist, Kent Johnson scored twice and Nathan MacKinnon, Macklin Celebrini and Barrett Hayton also scored for Canada in Group A in Stockholm. Captain Sidney Crosby recorded his first three assists of the tournament and Marc-Andre Fleury made 16 saves. Crosby is playing at his third worlds and his first since 2015 when he captained Canada to gold. Eduards Tralmaks surprised the 40-year-old Fleury in his debut at the worlds 7:05 into the game with a wrist shot, the first shot on goal. Konecny and MacKinnon needed a 61-second span to turn things around. Konecny leveled at 9:30 into the opening period, redirecting a pass from Travis Sanheim into the net. MacKinnon was in front of the goal to net off a pass from Bo Horvat. Johnson increased the lead 7:11 into the middle period with a backhand shot and added his second after skating to the slot before wristing a shot past goalie Gustavs Grigals midway through the period. Konecny netted a shorthanded goal with 24 seconds remaining to make it 5-1. Celebrini scored from the left circle and Hayton finished it off with a slap shot in the final period. Next, Canada plays France on Tuesday. In Herning, Germany defeated Kazakhstan 4-1. In Stockholm, Slovakia recorded its first win in Group A, a 3-1 victory over another newcomer Slovenia. Finland faces France in Stockholm later Sunday, when the Czechs play Norway in Herning. ___ AP sports:
