IIHF WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP 2022: FINLAND HOLDS OFF CANADA'S COMEBACK, WINS IN OT TO GRAB GOLD.

The gold medals for the 2022 IIHF World Championship are going to the hometown crew. 

Finland earned a 4-3 overtime win in the gold medal game to win the country its fourth gold medal at the event. Salari Manninen potted the game-winning goal on the power play in the OT frame to lift the Finns to victory in their home country. 

Canada came close to completing yet another epic comeback at the tournament. Down 3-1 with less than two minutes to go, Canada pulled its goalie and goals from Zach Whitecloud and Maxime Comtois tied the game, forcing the extra period. But the effort fell just short and the country had to settle for silver. 

In the bronze-medal game, Czechia came back from down 3-2 against the United States, ripping off four unanswered goals to grab the victory and the medal.
