WJC: Mantha Scores Hat Trick.

Venue: Malmo Isstadion 

RECAP - Anthony Mantha scores a hat trick. Brent Sutter stays perfect as coach. Jonathan Drouin has 3 assists. Connor McDavid gets chances. How can you ask for a better start to the 2014 World Juniors? Germany not scoring the first goal and tying it up at two with 4 minutes left in the first period. But the Canadians rebounded on the back of Mantha and Drouin who combined for 6 points and led the team to a 7-2 win over the Germans. Despite the big gap in the score, the Germans weren't manhandled like normal as they were only outshot 30 to 24.
