Captain Sidney Crosby (Pittsburgh Penguins) had a goal and an assist to help Canada to a 6-1 win against Russia in the gold-medal game of the 2015 IIHF World Championship on Sunday at O2 Arena in Prague, Czech Republic.

It is Canada's first gold medal since 2007 and the 25th time it has won the World Championship.

Crosby joins the Triple Gold Club for players who have won the Stanley Cup, an Olympic gold medal and a World Championship. He is the 26th player and ninth Canadian-born player to do so. Crosby is the first to captain all three championship teams.

"It is a great honor joining the Triple Gold Club. I've been fortunate to play for some great teams," Crosby said, according to the IIHF website. "You need some luck too. Guys have played in different events and sometimes you don't get the luck. I feel pretty fortunate to be a part of this and we could do it as a group."

Jaromir Jagr (Florida Panthers) was voted most valuable player of the 2015 IIHF World Championship, the last tournament the 43-year-old forward says he’ll play in for the Czech Republic.

Jagr had six goals and three assists in 10 games for the host Czechs, who lost 3-0 to the United States on Sunday in the bronze-medal game.

In addition to choosing Jagr as MVP, the media voted Jagr, U.S. goalie Connor Hellebuyck (Winnipeg Jets), Canada defenseman Brent Burns (San Jose Sharks), Sweden defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson (Arizona Coyotes), Canada forward Jason Spezza (Dallas Stars) and Canada forward Taylor Hall (Edmonton Oilers) to the Worlds all-star team.

PRAGUE -- Jaromir Jagr (Florida Panthers) said Sunday that he has played his last game for the Czech Republic national team. Jagr and the Czechs lost 3-0 to the United States in the bronze-medal game of the 2015 IIHF World Championship on Sunday at O2 Arena.

"Obviously, I'd rather finish with a better game and with a win, but that's how it is," Jagr said after the Czech Republic finished fourth for the second consecutive year. "I'm glad I played in this tournament and the fans have been great to me. I tried to give them everything I had, each game. Sometimes it went well, sometimes not. But I always gave it 100 percent."

Jagr's six goals led the Czech Republic and were tied for fourth among tournament leaders. At 43 years and 76 days old, Jagr became the oldest player to score a goal at the World Championship on May 1 against Sweden. He also scored twice, including the game-winner, in a 5-3 win against Finland that advanced the Czech Republic into the semifinals. He was named MVP of the tournament after Canada won the gold medal with a 6-1 win against Russia.

Goaltender Connor Hellebuyck (Winnipeg Jets) made 39 saves to lead the United States to a 3-0 win against the Czech Republic in the bronze-medal game of the 2015 IIHF World Championship on Sunday in a game played at O2 Arena in Prague.

Nick Bonino (Vancouver Canucks) and Charlie Coyle (Minnesota Wild) each had a goal and an assist for the U.S. Trevor Lewis (Los Angeles Kings) also scored.

Czech Republic goaltender Ondrej Pavelec (Winnipeg Jets) made 13 saves.

Alex Ovechkin (Washington Capitals) had a goal and an assist in a four-goal third period that carried defending champion Russia past the United States 4-0 on Saturday in the second semifinal game at the 2015 IIHF World Championship at 02 Arena in Prague, Czech Republic.

Russia will play Canada in the gold-medal game Sunday (2:30 p.m. ET; NBCSN, TSN). Canada remained unbeaten in the tournament by defeating the Czech Republic 2-0 in the first semifinal at O2 Arena. The Czech Republic and the U.S. will play for the bronze medal at 10:15 a.m. ET on Sunday.

"It's always great in a final when Russia and Canada play," Russian captain Ilya Kovalchuk told the IIHF website. "It will be very interesting. I think it will be a very exciting game. I'm excited."

Center Tomas Plekanec joined the Czech Republic for its semifinal game against Canada at the IIHF World Championship in Prague, the Montreal Canadiens said Friday.

The winner of the Czech Republic-Canada game Saturday will play the winner of the other semifinal between Russia and the United States in the gold-medal game Sunday.

Plekanec had one goal and four points in 12 Stanley Cup Playoff games for the Canadiens, who were eliminated by the Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday. He had 24 goals and 60 points in 82 games in the regular season.

The United States and Canada will have to defeat preliminary-round opponents again in the semifinals on Saturday to advance to the championship game at the IIHF World Championship in Prague, Czech Republic.

The U.S. defeated Russia 4-2 during round-robin play on the way to a first-place finish in Group B. But the Russian team they play in the first semifinal will be bolstered by the addition of NHL goal-scoring leader Alex Ovechkin of the Washington Capitals. He flew to Prague after the Capitals were eliminated from the Stanley Cup Playoffs by the New York Rangers on Wednesday. Ovechkin, who scored 53 goals during the regular season, had the Capitals' goal in a 2-1 overtime loss in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Second Round.

Ovechkin is making his 11th appearance at the World Championship; he has helped Russia to the gold medal three times, including last year.

The U.S. has won seven of its eight games in the tournament, including a 3-1 quarterfinal victory against Switzerland on Thursday.

Canada will play the Czech Republic, a 5-3 winner against Finland, in one semifinal game Saturday.

Burns also had two assists, Jason Spezza (Dallas Stars) had a goal and an assist, and Tyler Ennis (Buffalo Sabres) scored for Canada. Taylor Hall (Edmonton Oilers) and Jake Muzzin (Los Angeles Kings) each had two assists. Goaltender Mike Smith (Arizona Coyotes) made 24 saves.

Jake Gardiner (Toronto Maple Leafs) also had a goal and Anders Lee (New York Islanders) had two assists for the U.S. Goaltender Connor Hellebuyck (Winnipeg Jets) made 21 saves.
