Johnson put in his own rebound in the three-on-three overtime session after being set up by Logan Stankoven. It was a frantic overtime session, which could have gone either way.
Aleksi Heimosalmi and Joakim Kemell scored and Juha Jatkola made 30 saves in an outstanding performance. Finland have finished second at the world juniors five times. Dufour put Canada up 2-0 just 41 seconds into the second period.
