Theoren Fleury scored one goal and had three assists, leading Canada past Team USA, 6-3, in the World Hockey Championships Tuesday at Bern, Switzerland.
It was the second consecutive loss for the Americans. They had reinforced the team Sunday night with three NHL players, including Joel Otto and Paul Ranheim, Fleury’s teammates in Calgary.
Team USA led, 3-1, before Canada’s Shawn Burr and Greg Adams each scored two goals. It was Canada’s second consecutive victory in the preliminary round.
Canada’s Joe Nieuwendyk, center for the Calgary Flames, suffered an injured left knee halfway through the first period and Coach Dave King said he doubted that Nieuwendyk would return to the tournament.
