Andrew Ebbett scored twice as Canada beat host club HC Davos 4-1 and advanced to the semifinals of the Spengler Cup on Thursday.
Zach Boychuk and PA Parenteau also scored for Canada as the two-time defending champions finished first in their group with a full six points at the pre-Olympic tournament.
Kevin Poulin was solid in goal with 37 saves, allowing only Sam Lofquist's first-period power-play goal.
Gilles Senn stopped 38 shots for Davos (1-1, three points), which must now play a quarter-final game against Finnish side HPK Hameenlinna on Friday.
Canada will next face the winner of a quarter-final between Mountfield HK and Dinamo Riga.
Hockey Canada is using the tournament as a final evaluation before deciding on its Olympic roster in January.
