Team Canada beat Team Finland 3-2 in the semifinals on Friday in a historic comeback.
After Canada came back from 2-0 down, Nathan MacKinnon scored the game-winning goal on a power play with 35.2 seconds left.
The goal was reviewed for offside, but the call on the ice stood. Finland was also assessed a penalty for an unsuccessful challenge.
Canada cruised through the preliminary round with three blowout wins before running into some trouble in the quarterfinals against Czechia. Captain Sidney Crosby went down with injury in the second period and could only watch as Canada fell behind Czechia 3–2.
But thanks to a late goal by Nick Suzuki and an overtime winner from Mitch Marner, Canada advanced to the semifinals, facing a relentless Finland squad.
