World Juniors Medal Round Recap: The McTavish Miracle seals gold for Canada
Johnson’s OT winner foiled the Finns’ comeback hopes. After Joshua Roy and William Dufour scored in the first 40 minutes to give Team Canada a 2–0 lead, Aleksi Heimosalmi and Joakim Kemell responded in the third period to tie the game.
While McTavish didn’t directly play a part in the overtime winner, he assisted on both Team Canada goals in regulation — and, of course, Johnson’s goal never would’ve happened if Niemela had scored first.McTavish scored two goals and three points in his nine-game NHL audition with Anaheim at the beginning of the 2021–22 season. It’s hard to imagine the 2021 No. 3 pick not playing a significant role for the Ducks this upcoming year.
While he wasn’t the first goaltender selected at last year’s draft, Wallstedt was undoubtedly the best at his position at this year’s World Juniors.
