Canada has won gold at the World’s Hockey Championship in Moscow by shutting out Finland 2-0. Finland takes home silver while the Russians get bronze. They defeated the U.S. yesterday 7 to 2 for that medal. It was Canada’s Connor McDavid scoring a first goal which really won the game. After that, the Canadians held the Fins scoreless. Matt Duchene hit the empty net as the Fins tried to battle back with an extra man in the closing moments of the game. McDavid ended a drought scoring at the 11:24 mark of the first period, driving to the net and deking out sprawling Finnish netminder Mikko Koskinen. Canada’s Max Talbot made 16 saves for his tournament-leading fourth shutout. The medals were handed out by Russian president Putin who congratulated the Canadians on their win.
