KOSICE, Slovakia, May 7 (Reuters) - Canada defeated Norway 3-2 on Saturday to advance to the quarter-finals of the world ice hockey championships.
Jason Spezza, John Tavares and James Neal took the Canadians to a 3-0 lead before Norway fought back with goals to Ken Andre Olimb and Marius Holtet.
"We knew they would keep coming. It is just the way the games are these days, you shut it off for couple of minutes and they find room," Neal said.
"We just get to keep on the gas pedal and not stand back, we have another tough game against Sweden coming up."
Denmark upset Germany 4-3 in a see-saw Group E match which was decided in the shootout.
Austria defeated Slovenia 3-2 to record their first win in the tournament while Latvia downed Belarus 6-3.
