The good news is that as of this afternoon, Saultbies have scored five goals in Olympic ice hockey at the 2006 Torino Games.

The bad news is that not one of those goals was for Team Canada.

John Parco scored for Italy with 2:07 left in today's game against the Czech Republic, but it didn't do much good as his Italian team lost 4-1.

Meanwhile, a listless Team Canada suffered its second shutout of the weekend, losing 2-0 today to Finland.

Finland now sits at the top of Group A with a 4-0-0 record and has won a berth in the eight-team semifinals.

Canada is now 2-2-0 and is third in Group A behind Finland and Switzerland (2-1-1).

Team Canada will finish preliminary round play on Tuesday with a 10:30 a.m. game against the Czechs.
