Edmonton Oilers prospect Jeff Deslauriers recorded the shutout as Canada advanced to the final of the Spengler Cup Thursday in Davos, Switzerland.
Canada beat host HC Davos 4-0 in the tournament semifinal to set up a showdown with SKA St. Petersburg in Friday's final. St. Petersburg downed Geneve-Servette 4-3 in overtime in the other semifinal.
Josh Holden's goal at 14:54 of the first period stood up as the winner for Canada. Mark Bell, J.P. Vigier and Pascal Pelletier had the other goals for the Canadians, who avenged an earlier loss to Davos in the tournament.
Canada will be without ex-Toronto Maple Leafs forward Bell for the final. He injured a knee after crashing heavily into the boards against Davos and did not return.
