Great Britain remain in the hunt for the medals at the IIHF Under-20 World Championship Division II Group A after a 7-0 victory over the Netherlands in Kaunas.
Jonathan McBean netted twice while netminder Ben Norton secured an 11-shot shutout.
Bayley Harewood put GB ahead when his initial shot rebounded off a Netherlands skate straight back to him to fire past Jowin Ansems (16:45).
Liam Steele’s pinpoint pass found Juha Lindgren who had time to control the puck and slot in GB’s second (21:51), before Mack Stewart swept home a loose puck from the right circle (32:58).
It was 4-0 only 52 seconds later as Christian Mohr’s cross-ice pass rebounded off the boards and Aren Francis used his speed to beat the Netherlands defence and round Ansems (33:50).
GB’s fifth came on the powerplay when Jack Hopkins fed McBean who went short-side moments after coming out the penalty box (39:45).
Hopkins then turned goalscorer, slotting in GB’s sixth (56:36) before McBean got his second goal of the afternoon by banking his shot in off Ansems (59:02).
