Canada's bid for a record-tying 25th World Championship title suffered a major blow in a dominant 3-0 quarter-final shutout victory over the United States. The team will now have to navigate the remainder of the tournament without star goaltender Charlie Lindgren, who made 24 saves to secure the win, but suffered a lower-body injury in the process. The injury to Lindgren is a significant concern for Canada, which had been counting on its experienced goaltender to lead the team through the tournament. The loss will likely put a spotlight on the team's backup goaltenders as they prepare to face off against the winner of the Sweden-Denmark quarter-final match in the semifinals.
