Canada's men's hockey team secured a dramatic 4-3 victory over Finland in the Olympic semifinals, advancing to Sunday's gold medal game. Nathan MacKinnon scored the game-winning goal with just 35.2 seconds remaining, continuing Canada's pattern of late-game heroics in this tournament.

Despite falling behind 2-0 early, Canada mounted a comeback led by Sam Reinhart's power-play deflection and Shea Theodore's third-period blast. The decisive moment came when Finland's Niko Mikkola was called for high sticking with 2:35 left, setting up Canada's top power-play unit featuring Connor McDavid and Nathan MacKinnon. Head coach Jon Cooper's strategic adjustments, including elevating Reinhart to the top unit in Sidney Crosby's absence, proved crucial to the victory.

Finland's goaltender Juuse Saros nearly stole the game with a stellar performance, keeping his team within one goal until the final minute. Canada's ability to dominate possession and force turnovers, particularly in the second period when they outshot Finland 14-3, ultimately wore down the Finnish defense. The Canadians now face the winner of USA-Slovakia in their quest for Olympic gold.
