Kent Johnson scored the golden goal as Canada defeated Finland 3-2 in overtime to claim the gold medal Saturday at the 2022 World Junior Hockey Championship in Edmonton.
It’s the 19th time Canada has captured gold in the tournament’s history.
Joshua Roy opened the scoring for Canada 11:18 into the first frame and William Dufour doubled the lead just 49 seconds into the second.
Aleksi Heimosalmi got Finland on the board 4:09 into the third and Joakim Kemell tied it up just over six minutes later.
Earlier Saturday, Sweden beat Czechia 3-1 to win bronze.
More to come.
