The ball rolled out of the zone and then it was a footrace and DEREK GINGERA got to it first, scoring the empty-net goal.
Unassisted.
They started the 3rd period on the power play and wasted little time cashing in. BRIAN SZOLGA's slapper from the point beats everybody.
Assists: Marcus Power, Jordan Escott.
Kuru is doing all he can for the Finns but he can't stop everything. He made a diving save on the first attempt but he was lying helplessly as NATHAN YETMAN slid the loose ball into the unguarded net.
Assist: Dustin Kelly.
KEVIN REID unloads an absolute bomb from the left point that beats Kuru over the shoulder.
Assist: Paul Kastas.
Right back the other way Canada scores again. MARCUS POWER calls for the ball at the top of the circle, then gets it and powers a high blast through heavy traffic that somehow found the net.
Assists: Kevin Reid, Danick Martel.
Ever since the Finnish goal it's been all Canada and SHAQ MERASTY seems especially dangerous. On this Canadian rush he fired a wrister that beat Kuru short side.
Assist: Remi Laurencelle.
The play started behind the net and worked out in front to DYLAN KELLY, who did a good job of eluding a check, then spinning and firing from the high slot, and it appeared to hit a Finnish stick and change direction on Kuru.
Assists: Shaq Merasty, Paul Kastas.
They move it around on the power play and AKI PIETSALO lets go a one-time blast that beats Barlow five-hole. Pietsalo has now scored both of Finland's goals in this tournament.
Assists: Juuso Nieminen, Santtu Sirkkala.
