    Thank you for following the game with us! Have a look at our schedule for more action from the 2014 IIHF World Championship in Minsk, Belarus! (13:56:27)
     
    Canada win a game they dominated for most of the 60 minutes just by a one-goal margin, mostly due to a great goalie performance by Norway's Söberg but also because the Norwegian offense was extremly efficient. After all the win is more than deserved though for Canada who came back from a deficit twice to win in regulation!

    For Norway the tournament is now over while Canada managed to leave Sweden behind themselves due to the win in the game between the two sides to win group A and to advance easily to the quarterfinals.

    Shots on goal: Norway 4 (16) – Canada 14 (42)

    Game over.
     
    59:02
    During the following counter attack Canada's Kyle Turris missed the empty net with an attempt from the right wing!
     
    58:54
    Ken Andre Olimb dekes out a defender and stands just in front of the net before he is stopped by the last man.
     
    58:27
    The Norwegians try it from all possible angles but can't get the puck through to the net.
     
    57:39
    Norwegian goalie Sorvik leaves the net for an additional attacker for the last two and a half minutes! All or nothing now for Team Norway!
     
    57:30
    So far the Norwegian power play stayed without success and they are forced into their own third.
     
    56:44
    Timeout by Norway!
     
    56:44
    Kevin Bieksa (Canada) gets two minutes for roughing. Pretty hard call here. Looked more like a dive of his opponent.
     
    56:23
    Anders Bastiansen with a shot from the left side with a very sharp angle – stopped by Reimer!
     
    55:43
    A strange deflection from the right leg of Ken Andre Olimb after a shot by a team mate from the right circle almost beats Reimer for the equalizer! That was close!
     
    54:18
    Jonathan Huberdeau tries it from close to the right circle but can't place the shot well enough.
     
    53:53
    Distance shot by the Norwegians from the left wing, goes wide.
     
    53:23
    The game is getting very physical right now with both teams fighting for every puck.
     
    52:13
    After a fast attack over the left wing, the puck comes to Troy Brower who fails to tip in the pass from the left after waiting just in front of the net!
     
    50:43
    Goal for Team Canada!


    After a pass from behind the net by Jonathan Huberdeau it is JOEL WARD who shows great puck handling and scores into the left top corner from just next to the goalie crease! Just before the end of the power play!

    Assisted by Jonathan Huberdeau.
     
    50:20
    Norway make it as tough as possible for Canada and defend aggressively.
     
    49:24
    Nathan Mackinnon receives the puck just left to the Norwegian net but from short distance his shot goes wide!
