Canada was losing 2-1 after the first period ended. They then evened up the score in the second period before falling behind 3-2 in the third, with just a few minutes left to play.

Ultimately, Montreal Canadiens center Nick Suzuki evened up the score with less than four minutes of regulation remaining to keep Canada in the fight.

Canada was able to ride the momentum from this late goal by another one scored less than two minutes into the sudden-death overtime period by Vegas Golden Knights standout Mitch Marner.

Superstar forward Connor McDavid didn't score any goals in this game. But he did assist on two of them for Team Canada and was otherwise integral to them advancing to the semifinals.
