U.S. wins, Canada loses at Worlds.
Nick Foligno scored twice, and Brandon Dubinsky and T.J. Oshie scored once, as Team USA beat France 4-0 in the relegation bracket at the IIHF World Championships in Cologne, Germany. Ducks forward Ryan Carter did not score in the win.
Corey Perry and Team Canada, meanwhile, dropped a 3-1 decision to Sweden in the qualification bracket. Canada will need to beat the Czech Republic on Tuesday to avoid a quarterfinal matchup against Alex Ovechkin and Team Russia, which has won 23 straight games at the tournament. Perry did not score in the loss.
