NIAGARA FALLS, Ont. – Brianne Jenner, Emily Clark and Marie-Philip Poulin each scored, and Canada outshot Finland 23-19 to post a 3-1 win on Saturday in exhibition women’s hockey action at the Gale Centre. Renata Fast chipped in with two assists for Team Canada, which is focused on winning the worlds, which are scheduled April 5-16 in Brampton, Ont. The teams, getting ready for the women’s world hockey championship, missed a number of scoring opportunities and the power-play units looked like they might need some additional work, too, as Canada went 0-for-5 and Finland was 0-for-3. The teams were scoreless after the first period and Canada led 1-0 heading into the third period. Emilia Vesa scored for Finland.
