Match

Connor McDavid scored his first goal of the tournament for Canada midway through the first period. The scoreline remained the same throughout the second period, despite a sustained Canadian attack.[7] In an attempt to level the match, Finnish goaltender Mikko Koskinen was substituted with a minute to go in the last period for an additional field player.[8] The game was heading for a slender 1–0 win for the Canadians before Brad Marchand slotted in a second into an empty net in the final second of normal time.[9]
