Canada leads Finland 2-0 after the second period in their Group A matchup on Day 1 of the 2025 IIHF World Junior Championship from the Canadian Tire Centre in Ottawa.
Easton Cowan made it a 2-0 game just over five minutes into the second period when Finland failed to clear the zone and Cowan skated in, took the puck and beat goaltender Petteri Rimpinen clean on the blocker side.
Finland’s Arttu Tuhkala went to the box for two minutes for boarding Canada’s Cole Beaudoin midway through the second period but Canada managed just one shot on the power play with Finland successfully killing off the penalty.
