(Sports Network) - Derek Roy netted a hat trick and added an assist as Canada crushed Norway, 8-2, in the quarterfinal round of the 2008 World Hockey Championship. Jonathan Toews netted a goal and contributed two assists while Rick Nash scored twice for the Canadians, who will next play Sweden in the semifinal round on Friday. Cam Ward stopped 22 shots.
Morten Ask and Mathis Olimb each had a goal for Norway, which was in the quarterfinals for the first time since 1990. Pal Grotnes stopped 31 shots in the loss.
Norway had tied the game 5:32 into the second on Olimb's goal, but Toews scored less than five minutes later and Roy tallied twice to help Canada take a 5-2 lead into the third and they controlled play in the final frame, scoring three times.
In the first quarterfinal contest of the day, Mattias Weinhandl scored with 6:45 left in overtime to lift Sweden to a 3-2 win over the Czech Republic.
Patric Hornqvist scored in the second period while Marcus Nilson tied the game with 3:38 left in regulation for the Swedes, who got 29 saves from Henrik Lundqvist in the win.
Tomas Rolinek scored a goal while Radim Vrbata lit the lamp on a penalty shot for the Czechs, who got 28 saves from Milan Hnilicka in the loss.
