Canada 6 Austria 0

Jeff Carter had almost as many goals as he did ice time on Friday.
The L.A. Kings forward scored a second-period natural hat trick, and Team Canada’s blue-line continued its offensive outburst as the Olympic men’s hockey squad routed Austria 6-0 Friday at the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics at Bolshoy Ice Dome.
Defenceman Shea Weber and forward Ryan Getzlaf each had a goal and an assist, while blue-liner Drew Doughty also scored for the Canadians, who started their gold-medal defence 2-0.
Goalie Roberto Luongo (1-0), getting the call in place of Game 1 starter Carey Price, was solid when needed in making 23 saves for the shutout. It’s not immediately clear who will get the call between the pipes for Canada’s next game against Finland on Sunday – a battle for top spot in Group B (streaming live on cbc.ca/Olympics at 12 p.m. ET).
It was the first natural hat trick by a Canadian men’s Olympic hockey player since Paul Knox accomplished the feat in 1956, also against Austria. The kicker? Carter did it in just 8:46 of ice time.
