PRAGUE, Czechia — Captain John Tavares scored 15 seconds into overtime and saved his teammates some embarrassment as Canada held on for a 6-5 win over Austria on Tuesday at the world hockey championship.
Tavares ended the extra session quickly, taking the puck from behind centre ice, then skating into the Austrian zone and ripping a shot past goaltender David Madlener.
Former Ottawa 67's star Marco Rossi scored the tying goal with 49 seconds left and Madlener on the bench for an extra attacker. Canada entered the game with an 10-0-1 record and a goal differential of 68-7 in the head-to-head series. Connor Bedard scored his fifth goal of the tournament for Canada, which has eight points from three games to sit tied with Switzerland atop Group A.
