World hockey championship: Canada advances to semis
TAMPERE, Finland –
Drake Batherson scored 43 seconds into time beyond regulation, powering Canada to a 4-3 comeback victory over Sweden within the quarterfinals on the world hockey championship Thursday.
Sweden jumped out to 3-0 lead halfway by the second interval with targets from Carl Klingberg, William Nylander and Max Friberg.
Ryan Graves sparked Canada’s comeback with a objective 1:21 into the third, and Pierre-Luc Dubois and Matt Barzal — enjoying on his twenty fifth birthday — scored 30 seconds aside later within the interval to drive additional time.
Nylander was known as for tripping 25 seconds into time beyond regulation and Canada was fast to capitalize on the person benefit, with Batherson sending a sharp-angle shot in behind Swedish goaltender Linus Ullmark from the underside of the faceoff circle.
Barzal and Dubois each assisted on the game-winning objective.
Chris Driedger stopped 16-of-19 pictures for Canada and Ullmark made 38 saves for Sweden.
Canada will face the winner of a quarterfinal matchup between Switzerland and the US within the semifinals on Saturday. The medal video games are set to be performed on Sunday.
