Beck’s first goal came less than 30 seconds into the second period where the score was tied at two apiece. The Port Hope native fired a one-timer at point-blank range to beat Swiss goaltender Alessio Beglieri for his first goal.

His second was a highlight-reel goal while Team Canada was shorthanded after a checking-from-behind major penalty to Macklin Celebrini. Beck knocked down the puck from behind him, sped up to the puck and was on a breakaway. He stickhandled the puck and rifled it over Beglieri’s glove and scoring in the top-shelf corner for his second of the game.

Canada will have more pre-tournament action against the United States on Saturday and open the tournament on Boxing Day against Finland.
