PIESTANY, Slovakia -- Canada defeated Sweden 5-1 on Tuesday for its second straight victory at the under-18 Ivan Hlinka Memorial Cup tournament. Mitchell Stephens scored two goals in the third period to help put the game out of reach. Canada (2-0) moved into sole possession of first place in the Group B standings while Sweden (1-1) fell into second place. "What I like is how well were playing defensively," said head coach Jody Hull. "In this tournament, thats the key. Youve got to play strong in your zone and with the quality of forwards we have and our defencemen, they seem to be working in really good unison right now." Sweden could not capitalize on a pair of 5-on-3 advantages in a scoreless opening period. Travis Konecny scored on a power play in the second period and Lawson Crouse made it a 2-0 game a few minutes later. After Stephens gave Canada a healthy lead, Jansen Harkins iced the win by scoring on a penalty shot late in the third. "After the first period, we sort of found our legs," Stephens said. "We didnt buy into their system of getting caught into penalties and stuff like that. "I think we got back to our system, got pucks deep and established the forecheck." Tyler Soy added two assists and goaltender Zachary Sawchenko made 27 saves. Philip Magnusson had the lone goal for Sweden and Felix Sandstrom made 36 saves in a losing effort. Hull has been impressed by his teams balanced scoring attack. "Im not relying on one or two guys every night to carry the load," he said. "Im relying on 12 guys to do it. Again, were just playing that solid team game." Canada opened the tournament with a 5-1 victory over Switzerland and will close out the preliminary round Wednesday against host Slovakia at the Zimny Stadion. "The biggest thing for me is that were sticking to the plan," Hull said. "Were not off of it when we get behind or when we get a bit of a lead. We just keep going." The semifinals are scheduled for Friday and the medal games are set for Saturday. Canada has won the summer hockey tournament six years in a row, and 18 of the past 23 times since it began in 1991.

With Anaheim forward Teemu Selanne in the building, Jets fans voiced their appreciation for the man who began his NHL career with Winnipeg in 1992-93 by setting rookie records of 76 goals and 132 points. The crowd gave a roaring cheer during the singing of the American national anthem when the videotron showed the 43-year-old Finnish Flash. And Selanne received a standing ovation midway through the first period when the announcer at MTS Centre noted his storied career, which Selanne has said will end after this season. He stood up from the bench and acknowledged the cheering with a wave of his glove. "Some ways, you felt that I was on the home team," Selanne said with a laugh. After playing 231 games in a Jets uniform, Selanne was traded to Anaheim in February 1996 and didnt get to move with the Jets when they relocated to Phoenix and became the Coyotes at the end of that season. "I feel like even when I left, they have always been there after, too, so its a good feeling," he said. Selannes teammate Corey Perry was the on-ice hero for Anaheim when he capitalized on a Winnipeg mistake to score the winning goal. Jets defencemen Zach Bogosian had raced down the ice to grab a loose puck behind the net, but when he turned to clear it up the ice, he fanned on the shot and the puck went to Perry in front of the net. The Ducks winger quickly put a high shot above goalie Ondrej Pavelec at 14:29 to the groan of fans at MTS Centre. "If I didnt score that one, thered be something going on," Perry said. "I wouldnt tell you what would happen, but it wouldnt have been pretty. "It was a gift and those are the ones you have to capitalize on, especially right in front of the net with nobody around you." Goalie Viktor Fasth made 15 saves in a win that lifted Anaheims record to 2-1-0. Pavelec faced 33 shots for the Jets (2-1-0). Mathieu Perreault and Andrew Cogliano also scored for Anaheim, which concluded a season-opening, three-game road trip. Andrew Ladd had a pair of goals for Winnipeg and BBlake Wheeler assisted on both of them in his 375th NHL game.dddddddddddd Captain Ladd wasnt blaming Bogosian for the loss. "We didnt deserve to win, regardless of that," Ladd said. "Really the only reason we were in the game still was (Pavelec). "Tough break. (Bogosian) slips and the puck ends up in the wrong area and in the net. Its not his fault at all. Its on everybody else in the room." Anaheim doesnt play in Winnipeg again this season unless the teams face each other in the playoffs. Jets coach Claude Noel was upset with his teams play, except for Pavelecs performance. "If you look at the way we played, we didnt deserve to win the game playing that way," Noel said. "We got saved by our goalie. And realistically, our goalie has saved us in all three games (this season). Hes been superb. Not average, superb." He added Bogosians error was a mistake that "sometimes happens." Even though the Jets were outshot 15-6 in the first period, they held a 2-1 lead on Ladds goals. First he deflected Wheelers wrist shot just 11 seconds into a power play to make it 1-0 at 9:06, but then Ducks centre Perreault tied it up a minute and 10 seconds later when he flipped in a loose puck despite Pavelecs best efforts to stop it. Ladd got the go-ahead marker at 16:17, catching Fasth out of position. After the puck bounced off the backboards, Fasth slid to the other side of his crease, but Ladd had quickly shot the puck into the open side. The Jets didnt get a shot on net until almost five minutes into the second period and couldnt capitalize on two power-play opportunities. Anaheim tied it up with four seconds left in the middle period when Cogliano redirected a Dave Winnik shot. The Jets didnt get their first shot on goal in the third period until almost seven minutes in, with Pavelec facing four shots in the same span. Notes: Winnipeg defenceman Tobias Enstrom has four assists in his first three games a Bogosian was playing in his 300th NHL game. He was drafted by Atlanta in the first round, third overall, in the 2008 entry draft ... The Ducks will mark the 20th anniversary of their inaugural NHL game on Oct. 8. They will celebrate at their home-opener on Oct. 10. ' ' '
