HARBIN, China–Jennifer Botterill reached her second career milestone in as many games with the Canadian women's hockey team in Canada's 11-0 win over China yesterday at the world championship.

The 28-year-old from Winnipeg had two goals and two assists to surge past the 150-point mark just two days after appearing in her 150th game for the national team.

Botterill has played for Canada for a decade, participating in three Olympic Games and six world championships during that span.

Hayley Wickenheiser, Canada's career leader in games played and points, also scored twice and had a pair of assists yesterday. Cherie Piper contributed a goal and three assists in the win, which sealed first place in Pool A for Canada.

Canada, the U.S. and Finland finished the preliminary round first in their respective pools.

Canada, the U.S. and Finland play each other in the next round and the teams with the two best records meet again for the gold medal Saturday.

Canada has a two-day break and meets the Finns on Wednesday (TSN, midnight ET) and the U.S. on Thursday (TSN, midnight ET).
