It’s a record 28th world title for Canada, and its 2nd in 3 years. Russia has 27 titles while Germany has never won a Championship and settle for a silver.
Lawson Crouse, Tyler Toffoli and Scott Laughton also scored for Canada. Peyton Krebs had 2 assists and goaltender Samuel Montembeault of the Montreal Canadiens stopped 21 shots in the Gold Medal Game in Tampere, Finland.
Perfect finish off the rush! 🚨

Latvia wins the BRONZE!
Kristian Rubins scored his second goal 1:22 into overtime to lead Latvia to a 4-3 victory over the United States and earn a bronze medal on Sunday.
It’s the first top-three finish for Latvia at the tournament. Its previous best was 7th place on 3 occassions.
The U.S. lost in the bronze medal game for the second year in a row. The U.S. team looked like the team to beat with 8 straight wins but lost to Germany in the Semi Finals and failed to earn a medal.
