Canada and Finland each made it two wins from two at the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) World Junior Championship at Rogers Place in Edmonton, with victories over Slovakia and Switzerland respectively.
Hosts Canada played Slovakia after both sides had won their opening match, and another thrashing was not on the cards.
Canada defeated Germany 16-2 the previous day, but found it more difficult to break down a resilient Slovakian side, coming out 3-1 victors in the end.
Jordan Spence opened the scoring for the reigning champions a little more than four minutes into the match, but no more goals would come until the final period, when Philip Tomasino doubled Canada's lead.

Skilled Russia players must start going into the dirty areas
Russia coach Igor Larionov was a member of three Stanley Cup-winning teams with the Detroit Red Wings (1997, 1998, 2002). During those championship runs, he gained an appreciation for the way fellow forwards like Tomas Holmstrom, Darren McCarty and Kirk Maltby would go to the dirty area in front of the net and cause chaos in front of opposing goalies, especially during the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Larionov would like to see his players follow suit during the 2021 IIHF World Junior Championship.
Russia outshot the Czech Republic 30-29 in a 2-0 loss in Group B play Sunday. It was the first time Russia was shut out in the tournament since losing 1-0 in overtime to Sweden in the championshp game of the 2012 WJC, and Larionov thinks he knows why.
