Ridly Greig was a little banged up after helping Canada to a big win at the world junior hockey championship on Monday.
Not only did the Ottawa Senators' prospect score and contribute an assist in the 6-3 victory over Finland, he blocked some big shots when the Canadians ran into third-period penalty trouble.
Finland pulled goalie Leevi Merilainen just as del Mastro's penalty expired and with the extra man Roby Jarventie put a puck in off the glove of Canadian goalie Dylan Garand to make it 5-3.The Finns had a prime opportunity to eat into Canada's lead with a minute-long two-man advantage midway through the final period.
“Finland, they're a great team. I think they were 3-0 coming into this, their power play is ridiculous. So the fact that our PK stood up there with one of the best power plays in the tournament is huge for us.” Canada called for a coach's challenge, arguing that the puck had gone off the netting before falling back to the ice ahead of the goal.
Thirty-one seconds into the second, Canada went up 4-1 after the Finnish goalie bobbled a shot by Joshua Roy.
