Match[]

The first period was mainly filled with penalties, as there were multiple fouls throughout the period. This gave Canada several power plays, but did not result in a goal.[1] Nevertheless, the first goal of the match was scored by Shea Theodore for the Canadian team after getting a loose puck, which was the only goal of the period.[2] Early in the second period, Finland earned a power play, which led to the game-tying goal from team captain Marko Anttila.[2]

In the third period, Anttila scored another goal for Finland to make it 2–1.[3] With five minutes remaining, Harri Pesonen scored another goal for the Finnish team to make it a 3–1 lead, which stood until the end.[2]

Finland won the title for the third time ever, which was also their second win in Slovakia-the first being in 2011.[1]
