Team Canada continues their 2022 IIHF World Junior Championship with their second preliminary round game against Austria. Follow along with the action on the TSN.ca Live Blog.

The Canadians opened the tournament on Boxing Day with an impressive 6-3 win over Czechia.

On Tuesday, it will be London Knights goalie Brett Brochu getting the nod in his first start for the national team. 

The native of Tilbury, Ont., has a 16-5-1 record with a 2.48 goals-against average and a .921 save percentage over 22 games with the OHL's Knights this season. 

Unlike his Team Canada goalie teammates in Dylan Garand of the New York Rangers and Sebastian Cossa of the Detroit Red Wings, the 19-year-old Brochu has yet to be drafted into the NHL after two years of eligibility. 

Watch the game LIVE NOW on TSN1/4/5 and streaming on TSN.ca, the TSN App and TSN Direct.

Owen Power netted a hat trick against Czechia in his first career game at the World Juniors, marking the first time a blueliner scored three times for Canada in the best-on-best tournament. 

Team Canada will also be without forward Justin Sourdif, who was handed a one-game suspension for an illegal check to the head/neck.

Austria was thumped 7-1 by Finland in their opening game of the World Juniors on Monday. 

Third Period 

CAN 11 - AUT 1

Canada scores three goals in a two-minute span to extend the lead to 11-1. 

Bedard gets his fourth of the game as Canada extends it's lead to seven. 

Second Period 

CAN 6 - AUT 1

A miscue in the defensive end with under a minute to play saw Austria get their first goal of the game. 

Goalie Brett Brochu came out to challenge an Austria forward, but Vinzenz Rohrer was able to make a quick pass to Lukas Necesany who beat a sprawling Brochu to cut the deficit back to five.  

Connor Bedard does it again. 

The 16-year-old nets his third of the game to give Canada a 6-0 lead. 

Must See: Bedard completes the hat trick in style

Connor Bedard picked up his third-straight goal of the game on a beauty that saw him dangle the d-man before firing a perfect shot top corner to start the hats raining down.

Canada's shot advantaged has been stretched to 30-6 after the opening 24 minutes of the game. 

First Period

CAN 5 - AUT 0

Bedard nets two in just over a minute to put Canada up by five

16-year old phenom Connor Bedard found the scoresheet twice in just over a minute. Once on the power play, where he picked up his own rebound, and shortly after at even strength, where he started the play in Canada's own zone and finished it at the other end as Canada is up five on Austria.

Bedard, after going scoreless in the opening game, nets his second of the night to give Canada a 5-0 lead. 

Another power play for Canada, another power-play goal for Canada. This time it's 16-year-old Connor Bedard netting his first at this event. 

Less than nine minutes into the game, Canada has a three-goal lead over Austria as Logan Stankoven gets his first of the tournament. 

Lukas Cormier doubles Canada's lead just six minutes into the game. 

Canada get's their first opportunity on the power play and take full advantage. 

Kent Johnson nets his first of the tournament, with Cole Perfetti and Owen Power getting the assists. 

Johnson, Cormier score 55 apart seconds as Canada jumps to early 2-0 lead

Cole Perfetti found Kent Johnson with a gorgeous cross-ice pass on the power play, and Johnson made no mistake, firing a one-timer over the shoulder of Leon Sommer to give Canada an early lead. Only 55 seconds after, Lukas Cormier skated right in to beat Sommer again on the glove side to put Canada up two.

Canada comes out hot with three shots on net in the opening minute of the game.
