Canada has secured a spot in the 4 Nations Face-Off final with a thrilling 5-3 win over Finland. Nathan MacKinnon scored twice, while Connor McDavid had a goal and an assist. Sidney Crosby sealed the victory with an empty-netter from center ice.
The game was a rematch of Canada’s preliminary bout against the United States, which they lost 3-1 earlier in the tournament. The two teams will now face each other again in the final on Thursday night at the TD Garden.
Canada’s star players came through in a big way, with McDavid and MacKinnon leading the charge. The Canadians took an early lead and never looked back, despite Finland’s late surge.
The US team, meanwhile, lost to Sweden 2-1 earlier in the day, which left little chance for them of advancing further in the tournament.
Canada will be eager to take down their arch-rivals once again, with Brad Marchand stating that this is a matchup “everybody wanted.” The series promises to be intense and closely watched by hockey fans around the world.
