The Canadian men's hockey team began its Olympics slate with a 5-0 win over Czechia on Thursday.
Celebrini opened the scoring for Canada late in the first period, while McDavid piled up three assists. Binnington was steady in goal, stopping all 26 shots he faced.
Binnington entered the Olympics under the microscope as a perceived weak spot after posting the worst stats of the three Canadian netminders selected to the roster. He earned the starting role in Italy after a strong effort during Canada's 4 Nations Face-Off triumph last year.
