Team USA will play Canada in the quarterfinals of the Men’s Hockey World Cup
ZURICH – The United States set up a quarterfinal showdown with fierce rival Canada at the ice hockey world championship by beating Austria 4-1 on Tuesday.
Team USA and Canada met in the final of the Milan Cortina Olympic Games in February, when the Americans won 2-1 in overtime to take the gold medal.
Connor Clifton, Ryan Ufko, Paul Cotter and Matthew Tkachuk scored against Austria, and Will Borgen registered two assists. Devin Cooley made 25 saves in net.
The win moved the defending champions up to fourth place in Group A. That means they will now face Canada, who top Group B.
“I liked our game overall and thought our goaltending was excellent,” U.S. coach Don Granato said. “We look forward to the challenge we face against Canada on Thursday.”
The remaining quarter-final pairs are: Switzerland vs. Sweden; Finland vs Czech Republic; and Norway versus Latvia.
Former Bruin Clifton found the top corner of the net 5:34 into the game, and fellow defenseman Ufko doubled the U.S. advantage with a slap shot from the point 45 seconds later.
Cotter made it 3-0 just 67 seconds into the middle period before Tkachuk buried a rebound on the power play at 31:52. It was Tkachuk’s fourth goal in four games since joining the team last week.
Simeon Schwinger scored for Austria, which finished sixth.
Former BU star Macklin Celebrini scored two goals as Canada rallied past the Czech Republic 3-2 to end the preliminary phase with seven wins from seven (one in overtime).
John Tavares scored the winner in the third period. Sidney Crosby and former Bruin Parker Wotherspoon each contributed two assists.
Canada won Group B in Fribourg with 20 points, followed by Norway and the Czechs.
The Czechs took the lead 2-0 after a first-period goal by Marek Alscher and another by Dominik Kubalík in the middle period (8:18).
Crosby set up Celebrini to start the rally from the slot with 5:58 remaining in the second. Crosby then found Celebrini unmarked and scored his second to make it 2-2 with his fifth tournament goal (7:14) in the third. Tavares scored a backhander for the winner.
In Zurich, Ken Jager scored his second goal on a power play with 3:13 to go in host Switzerland’s 4-2 win over Finland.
Switzerland, with seven straight wins and all in regulation, dominated Group A with 21 points, three more than Finland.
Attilio Biasca and Jager gave the Swiss an early 2-0 lead before Finn Aleksander Barkov scored twice in the second period.
After Jager’s second place, Nico Hischier added an empty-netter.
Sweden, the bronze medalist of the last two editions, defeated Slovakia 4-2 in Fribourg.
Ivar Stenberg, a top prospect for next month’s NHL draft, scored the winning goal, Anton Frondell and Jakob Silfverberg each scored a goal and Oliver Ekman-Larsson sealed the victory with an empty-netter.
Sweden took fourth place, while Slovakia finished fifth and did not advance.
Latvia reached the quarter-finals by beating Hungary 8-1 and moved up to third place in Group A. Germany dropped to fifth place and will be eliminated.
Norway, who have already qualified for the last eight for the first time since 2012, needed extra time to beat Denmark 4-3 in Group B action in Fribourg.
