Martone led the team in assists with two, getting the helpers late in the first and second periods.
His first assist came on the power play as Team Canada was cycling the puck in the offensive zone. Martone had the puck from behind the net on the goalie’s left side. He made a cross-crease pass to Gavin McKenna who buried the one-timer for a 3-1 lead.
His second helper came on a delayed penalty call against Sweden. Martone came through the wing and past the faceoff circle. He tried to toe drag his way through traffic but lost the puck. It fortunately came to Matthew Schaefer’s stick who one-timed it for a 5-3 lead.
Canada goes back to work on Friday, where they take on Czechia at noon.
