Corey Perry opened a five-goal deluge for Team Canada in their opener at the IIHF World Championships on Saturday, a 5-1 win over Italy.
The Ducks forward scored his first goal of the tournament, after scoring twice in an exhibition game Tuesday, as five different players scored for Canada. Matt Duchene, a forward for the Colorado Avalanche and nephew of Ducks assistant coach Newell Brown, had a goal and an assist.
Canada’s next game is Monday night against Latvia.
