Canada entered the final day of men's hockey group play vulnerable to falling out of the No. 1 seed, even with a win, but they left absolutely no doubt with a 10-goal explosion against France.

The goal for Canada, however, was not to necessarily win their group or be the No. 1 seed. Anything less than gold would be a disappointment for this star-studded roster, and three more wins are still needed to get there.

The No. 1 seed did grant Canada a bye to the quarterfinals and prevent the Canadians from facing a potentially difficult matchup against Sweden to start the bracket portion of their tournament. So, what's next for Connor McDavid and co.?

Here's what you need to know about Canada's next game and a complete look at the Olympic men's hockey schedule.
