UTICA, N.Y. — Ella Shelton had a goal and two assists, and Canada eased by Finland 4-1 for the Canadian's 100th program win at the IIHF women's world championship. Brianne Jenner opened the scoring for Canada midway through the first period by putting a rebound, that bounced off Finnish goaltender Sanni Ahola, into an empty net. Emma Maltais converted a nice wrap-around pass from Natalie Spooner for a 2-0 lead less than two minutes into the second. But Finland answered nearly three minutes later on a goal by Petra Nieminen, who sent the puck into an open net. Canada extended its lead to 3-1 with 31.5 seconds left before the end of the second when Julia Gosling scored in her debut, finishing a nice pass from Kristin O'Neill.
