The Blackhawks center didn't post a point or even a shot in Canada's 4-1 win over Norway. He didn't have to as Canadians dominated.

After scoring in each of Canada's three opening wins at the IIHF World Championship, Blackhawks center Connor Bedard didn't make a mark on the scoresheet in a 4-1 in over Norway on Thursday in Prague.

The 18-year-old Bedard didn't post a point, or even a shot on goal, after recording five goals and assist in his first three games at the tournament.

The Norwegians barely did better as a team, however, as Canada improved to 3-1-0-0 and into a first place tie with Switzerland in Group A. Norway was held without a shot on Canadian goalie Nicolas Daws until about 2 minutes into the third period and was outshot 33-6 for the contest.

Brandon Tanev, Andrew Mangiapane, Dylan Cozens and Jared McCann scored for Canada.

Bedard was on the ice for Norway's lone goal and was a minus-1 in 14:30 of ice time. He was whistled for roughing at 6:04 of the third, but Cozens scored short-handed 33 seconds later to make it 3-1.

In the only other game involving Blackhawks players, the United States cruised past France 5-0.  Defenseman Seth Jones had an assist and six shots on goal in 19:57 of ice time as he was paired again with Columbus D-man Zach Werenski.

The Blackhawks top blueliner was a plus-2

Alex Vlasic was plus-1 with one shot in 17:30 of ice time.

Matt Boldy had two goals and an assist for the Americans, who outshot the French 54-10. Brock Nelson, Johnny Gaudreau and Shane Pinto also scored.
