Ryan Strome scored Canada's opening and final goals in their 6-3 victory over Slovakia in the 2013 World Junior Championship.
Slovakia had a 2-0 lead through 20 minutes, but Canada overwhelmed them after that. Going into the tournament, this is a game Canada was expected to win, but Slovakia gave Russia some trouble in their opening match and forced that contest to overtime. Canada now has their work cut out for them with games against the United States on Sunday and Russia on Monday.
