Special teams was huge for Canada, which fell behind Finland, 2-0, early in the second period. Sam Reinhart got Canada on the board at 14:20 with a power-play goal. Shea Theodore scored at even strength at 10:34 of the third to set up MacKinnon's heroics.
My take: What a shot by MacKinnon off a perfect pass by Connor McDavid. An embarrassment of riches. Sidney Crosby was out, but Cole Harbor still scored the winner.
