RIGA, Latvia (AP) — Andrew Mangiapane had two goals and two assists and Canada beat winless Italy 7-1 on Sunday in the world hockey championship to move into a fourth-place tie in Group B.

The United States will return to play Monday against Germany and finish group play Tuesday against Italy.

In Group A, Victor Olofsson broke a tie on a power play with 8:22 left to help Sweden beat Slovakia 3-1, and Joel Vermin had two goals and an assist in Switzerland’s 6-0 victory over Belarus.
