Canada scored three times in the first ten minutes en route to a solid 9-1 win over Denmark tonight at the 3M Arena at Mariucci.

The Canadians are now 7-0 all time against the Danes, who were promoted from Division I-A last year and who have their work cut out for them if they want to stay up for next year.

"It's the early game tomorrow (agaist Latvia), so we have to get home, get some food and a good night's sleep," said Danish defender Jesper Olesen trying to recover quickly from the defeat. "We have to be ready right from the start. It's our most important game."

"They play tough. They're a hard-working team like us. I feel as though we've been playing better and better each game, so I hope we can be just a bit better tomorrow."

Denmark will play its final game of the preliminary round against Latvia on Tuesday 22.30 CET. Canada will play against Finland on Thursday 02.30 CET
