Canada did the work to top its pool at the world junior men's hockey championship and earn an advantageous quarterfinal matchup with the Czech Republic.
However, Canada head coach Andre Tourigny said the Czechs finishing fourth in their pool doesn't make them a pushover.
"We need to remain humble," the coach said Friday.
Saturday's other quarterfinal matchups will see Slovakia face the U.S., Russia take on Germany, and Sweden battle Finland.
