Canadians down Swiss in warm-up

BIEL, SWITZERLAND— Matt Ellison scored the winning goal in the second period and Canada held on to beat Switzerland 3-2 on Wednesday in its opening game at the Karjala Cup pre-Olympic hockey tournament. Gilbert Brule and Eric O’Dell also scored for Canada, while Ben Scrivens made 19 saves. Romain Loeffel scored with less than two minutes left for the Swiss, but the co-hosts couldn’t find the game-tying goal with goaltender Jonas Hiller on the bench for an extra attacker.
