Canada wrapped up its round robin at the World Championship with a 3-0 win over Germany on Tuesday, clinching third place in Group B. That means the Canadians will play either Sweden or Russia in the quarterfinals.
Sweden and Russia square off at 2:15 p.m. ET to determine who wins Group A. The loser of that matchup faces Canada.
Connor McDavid and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins led the way offensively for Canada, picking up two points apiece.
The team's goaltending has been shaky all tournament, but Darcy Kuemper earned the shutout Tuesday. He wasn't tested much, though, turning aside just 10 shots.
