TRENTINO, Italy -- Jenna Smith had two goals and an assist to lead Canada past Russia 5-0 in the womens hockey final at the Winter Universiade on Friday.Avery Bradley Jersey . The Canadians dominated the contest, outshooting Russia 52-12. Laura Brooker, Jessica Pinkerton and Katia Clement-Heydra had the other goals for Canada while Tatiana Rafter added three assists. Goaltender Kelly Campbell earned the shutout. Canada has now claimed three straight womens hockey titles in this event and remains unbeaten over that span. The Canadian mens team is off to the gold medal finale. Tyler Carroll of the University of New Brunswick had a goal and an assist to lead Canada to a 2-1 semifinal win over Russia, the two-time defending champions. The Canadians will face Kazakhstan in Saturdays final. Kazakhstan beat the U.S. 5-1 in the other semifinal contest Friday. Canadas lone loss of the tournament was a 4-2 decision to Kazakhstan last weekend. The Canadians didnt face the Americans this year. Canada (4-1) handed Russia (4-1) its first loss of the event. The Russians came in having outscored their rivals 25-3 and a roster featuring 11 players with KHL experience. Canada is 3-3 in previous finals appearances, last winning in 07. "One of the keys was we got a chance to get the lead," said Canadian head coach Gardiner MacDougal. "When you have a quality opponent, and you know it going to be a tight game, its critical. "We did that and we protected it." Carroll, of Strathroy, Ont., opened the scoring with 17 seconds left in the first period. He then assisted on Eric Faille of Monctons game-winning goal 34 seconds into the third. Canada killed off all seven Russian power plays, including one over the final 1:07 of the game. The Canadians were a perfect nine-for-nine on the penalty kill in a 6-0 quarter-final win over Slovakia on Wednesday. Pavel Kopytin, who plays for the KHLs Atlant Moscow Oblast, scored with 1:50 remaining in regulation for Russia. Canadian speedskaters also earned two medals Friday. Guillaume Bastille of Riviere-du-Loup, Que., was third in the mens 1,000-metre. He then combined with Patrick Duffy of Oakville, Ont., Yoan Gauthier of Riviere-du-Loup and Montreals Sebastien Landry to finish second in the 5,000-metre relay. Rajon Rondo Swingman Jersey . Vince Carter added 14 points and Jae Crowder 12 for Dallas, which never trailed. The Mavericks led by as many as 23 points in the third quarter before cruising against a Pelicans squad minus starting point guard Jrue Holiday and leading scorer Ryan Anderson. Robert Parish Jersey . Kevin Love scored 33 points and tied a season high with 19 rebounds for his NBA-best 50th double-double this season, and the Timberwolves withstood Denvers 45-point fourth quarter to beat the skidding Nuggets 132-128 on Monday night for their third win in a row.The Colorado Avalanche may have lost one of the premier free agents, centre Paul Stastny, but recovered somewhat by bringing in the top free agent goal-scorer. Numbers Game looks into the deal for Jarome Iginla The Avalanche Get: RW Jarome Iginla. Iginla, 37, scored 30 goals last season, just like he has in every full season since 2000-2001, while playing for the Boston Bruins. The Bruins ran into cap issues that squeezed Iginla out of their plans and opened the door for the Avalanche to improve their forward ranks. Sure, at his age, Iginla has probably lost a step (his 2.68 shots on goal per game last season was his lowest since 1998-1999), but over the past six seasons, he ranks seventh in goals, with 186. He can pull the trigger and thats largely what the Avalanche will need from him. Colorado has lots of young talent up front, guys that the can skate the puck into the offensive zone and it would easy enough to fit Iginla on a line with rising star Nathan MacKinnon and veteran Alex Tanguay, with whom Iginla shared some productive years in Calgary. The issue for the Avalanche is how rapid Iginlas descent might be. Hes been unbelievably durable throughout his career, missing eight games in the past two seasons following five straight seasons without missing a game. But, once more than 1300 NHL games are on the odometer, its difficult to maintain production and its already begun with Iginla, who has averaged under 0.80 points per game in each of the past two years for the first time since 1998-1999. Its evident howw this career arc is playing out.Reggie Lewis Authentic Jersey. With 560 career goals, Iginla ranks second among active skaters, behind only Jaromir Jagr now that Teemu Selanne has retired. But, for all the great goal-scorers that have played at age 37 and beyond, its rare to keep scoring 30 goals per season. Since 2000, there have been five forwards, aged 37 or older, to score 30 goals in a season. Theyre Hall of Fame calibre players, like Iginla, so maybe he can get there at least once during the life of this contract, but the odds are that Iginla is going to start falling between 20 and 30 goals because as players get older, even for the great ones, its not as easy to get to the net. Without much room to maneuver under the salary cap, the Bruins may have to look internally to fill the void created by Iginlas departure. Loui Eriksson could move up to join David Krejci and Milan Lucic on the top line and prospects Ryan Spooner and Alexander Khokhlachev are likely to have opportunities to make the team next year. As long as he doesnt drop too precipitously, Iginla can still provide value on the three-year, $16-million contract he received from Colorado, but its likely to be in more of a supporting role because while every career isnt the same, all athletes eventually diminish with age and the Avalanche are looking at those years with Iginla.
