A championship for Canada would be its first since 2016 and would tie Russia/USSR for the most in tournament history with 27.

“I didn’t really have any expectations coming in to the tournament because you never really know what is going to happen,” Canada goalie Matt Murray (Pittsburgh Penguins) told Hockey Canada’s website. “I just try to go out there and play and do what I can to help the team. Obviously we’re excited and thrilled and just thankful for the opportunity to play for a gold medal.”

Murray made 40 saves in a 5–1 win against the Czech Republic in the semifinals Saturday. Forward Mark Stone (Vegas Golden Knights) scored his tournament-high eighth goal and had an assist.
