BRECLAV, Czech Republic - Dylan Wells stopped all 21 shots he faced as Canada shut out Sweden 2-0 on Tuesday at the Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament.
Michael McLeod and William Bitten scored as Canada improved to 2-0 at the annual under-18 international hockey tournament.
McLeod scored at the 11:37 mark of the first period before Bitten added some insurance with an empty-net goal with 20 seconds left in the game.
Wells's shutout is the first by a Canadian goaltender at the tournament since Julio Billia blanked the United States in the 2013 gold medal game.
Filip Gustavsson took the loss in net for Sweden (1-1).
Canada will play Switzerland on Wednesday.
