Canada’s quest for Gold at the IIHF World Championships
came to an end yesterday.
Canada lost 3-2 to Finland in yesterday’s quarter-final,
eliminating them from the tournament. The red and white had a 2-1 lead heading
into the third but could not hang on.
Jonathan Huberdeau didn’t record a shot in 10:09 of ice
time in the loss. He played 5:51 in the third period alone. Huberdeau finished
his first World Championship with one goal and four assists in eight games.
Finland will play the Czech Republic in one semi-final
while Russia will face Sweden in the other.
