Josh Anderson and Joel Armia blacked out the scoresheet

Earlier this afternoon, I slipped a note on the case of Jordan Harriswho could lose his job with the Americans, and Sean Farrell, who didn’t do anything notable in the Americans’ opener.

Of the five hopefuls at the World Championship, they are in the category of those who do not start strong. Frederik Dichow has yet to play for Denmark.

But now let’s move on to those who are doing well, namely Joel Armia and Josh Anderson.

This afternoon, the two members of the CH who are regular attackers played, in turn, their first match of the tournament. Both games have just ended… and in both cases it went well.

Joel Armia, in Finland’s 5-0 win over Norway, had two points. He first obtained an assist before scoring his fourth goal “in the 41st minute”, as indicated on the IIHF website.

At the beginning of the third, therefore.

Canada, on the other hand, did not have it so easy against Germany. Germany, really?

The Germans don’t have a bad club and in the third the score went from 5-1 Canada to 5-3. The Germans did not have the resources to go further, that being said.

Josh Anderson may not have scored in this game, but he was still able to contribute via an assist on the first goal (Cole Sillinger) of the game.

It’s already that.

Note that Pierre-Luc Dubois (two goals), Nicolas Roy (one assist), Maxime Comtois (one assist) and Thomas Chabot (one assist), the club’s four Quebecers, all contributed offensively during the game.

The next Canadian duel will take place on Sunday against the Italians.
