 MOSCOW (AP) - Facing criticism off the ice, Canada captain Shane Doan made a statement on it by scoring three goals in the second period Friday in a 6-3 win over Belarus at the hockey world championships.
Doan's captaincy has been criticized in Canada's parliament over allegations he uttered an ethnic slur at French-speaking officials during a 2005 game between the Phoenix Coyotes and the Montreal Canadiens. An NHL investigation found no evidence he used any slurs.
In Group E, Russia got a goal and an assist from Ilya Kovalchuk in a 3-0 victory over Italy.
