BREAKING: Canada beats Russia to win 2020 World Juniors
The Canadians weren't out of the woods, however, and had to fight off a 6-on-4 man advantage with under two minutes to go.Russia imploded and took another penalty for playing with a broken stick as Canada ran out the clock with a 5-on-3 man advantage of its own before spilling off the bench in celebration.
Canada stayed on the power play, with Joe Veleno coming close on a one-timer. Liam Foudy was then robbed on a 2-on-1 with the teams back at even strength. Russia killed that one off, and Miftahkov stopped McMichael on a breakaway moments later to set up the wild finish. Sporting its black third jerseys for a fourth straight game, Foudy hit the post less than a minute into a fast-paced, high-intensity first period before Canada got into some serious penalty trouble.
