Team Canada is playing at the highest level at this World Championship. In their opening four games, the Maple Leafs have scored 22 goals, and their attack, led by Sidney Crosby (5 assists) and MacLean Celebrini (9 points), is running like a well-oiled machine. They have collected 11 of a possible 12 points and are comfortably leading Group B. Slovenia, meanwhile, has suffered three straight losses by a combined score of 4-16 after a stunning overtime victory over the Czech Republic. Their defense is allowing an average of 4.25 goals per game, and they have virtually no chance of countering the might of the Canadian attack.
Their head-to-head record is also on Canada's side. In their last four official games, Canada has consistently won, scoring at least four goals in each. Slovenia has managed to score in three of their last four head-to-head matches at the World Championships (scores 5-2, 7-2, 4-3 OT).
Bookmakers are virtually certain of a Canadian victory, offering odds of 1.03. However, given the attacking prowess of both teams, betting on goals is more attractive. Canada conceded five goals to Norway in their last match.
