Connor Bedard had four assists to tie Eric Lindros for Canada's all-time points record at the world junior hockey championship as the tournament hosts wrapped up preliminary round play with a dominant 5-1 victory over Sweden in Halifax, N.S., on Saturday night.

Brennan Othmann, with two, Joshua Roy, Tyson Hinds and Kevin Korchinski scored for the Canadians. Thomas Milic made 22 saves.

Ludvig Jansson replied for Sweden, which got 39 stops from Carl Lindbom. Canada, which wore its black jerseys on New Year's Eve, will face Slovakia in Monday's quarter-finals at the men's under-20 event, while Sweden is set to take on Finland.

United States will face Germany and the Czech Republic will play Switzerland in the other matchups. The presumptive first pick at the 2023 NHL draft, Bedard has played just 13 total games at the world juniors, while Lindros registered his 31 points in 21 contests over three tournaments.
