Bedard sets 5 records, posts OT winner as Canada tops Slovakia, advances to world junior semis

Canada is off to the semifinals at the world junior hockey championship.

Connor Bedard scored at 5:17 of overtime on an incredible individual effort as the tournament hosts defeated Slovakia 4-3 on Monday.

The extraordinary 17-year-old deked his way past three Slovaks before backhanding his eighth goal of the event to blow the roof off a red-clad Scotiabank Centre.

Bedard also scored early in the first — setting four records in the process — before adding an assist on Canada's second goal to establish another national mark.
