Canada beats Finland 3-2 in OT for 27th world hockey title

RIGA, Latvia (AP) — Nick Paul scored in overtime on a 2-and-1 break with Ottawa Senators teammate Connor Brown and Canada won its 27th world hockey title, beating Finland 3-2 on Sunday night. Brown slid the puck over to Paul and he beat goaltender Jussi Olkinuora 6:26 into the extra frame. Maxime Comtois and Adam Henrique also scored for Canada, which looked down-and-out after losing its first three games in Riga before going on an improbable run to the top of the podium. Earlier, the United States beat Germany 6-1 in the claimed bronze with a 6-1 win over Germany. Cal Petersen made 33 saves for the Americans.
