The Canadian women's hockey team will enter the championship game at the Four Nations Cup on a high after closing out an undefeated round robin with a 9-0 rout of Sweden on Friday at Valtti Areena.

Natalie Spooner and Jennifer Wakefield scored two goals apiece and Shannon Szabados made 27 saves to help Canada post its third straight victory.

"It's always nice when you score a bunch of goals," said head coach Dan Church. "It gives the forwards some confidence. I think on the back end, it was a good performance by our [defence] and goalie to get the shutout.

"Overall, a great way to head into tomorrow." Canada will play the United States in the title match while Sweden and Finland play for bronze.
