Jets at the Worlds - Finals

Hockey is a 60-minute game, but more often than not, a few precious minutes can mean the difference between a win and a loss.
Sunday at the 2022 IIHF World Hockey Championship was a perfect example of that, as three members of the Winnipeg Jets took to the ice for their respective countries in hopes of ending their time in Finland with a win.

USA 4, CZECHIA 8
Through 40 minutes, Nate Schmidt at the USA were able to hold off Czechia's high-powered offence.
But in just a 3:37 span to start the third, USA's 3-2 lead turned into an insurmountable 5-2 deficit.
Two goals from David Pastrnak and one from tournament scoring leader Roman Cervenka gave Czechia the surge they needed to earn an 8-4 victory and the bronze medal. Pastrnak completed the hat trick with 37 seconds to go, and David Kampf also scored a pair in the final period.
Schmidt had an assist in the game, as his assist on Karson Kuhlman's shorthanded marker in the first period capped off a strong start for the Americans, who led 3-1 after 20 minutes. Kuhlman had two of them, and Adam Gaudette had the other.

Jiri Cernoch had Czechia's goal in the first, then added another in the second to make it 3-2.
Then, when the puck dropped in the third, Czechia started the surge.
Once again, Schmidt had the second most ice time on the team in the game, playing 27:37 with two shots on goal to go along with his assist.
He finishes the tournament with two goals and six points in 10 games.
CANADA 3, FINLAND 4 (OT)
The gold medal game between Canada and Finland had two wild stretches, but in the end, the hosts from Finland took advantage of a power play in overtime to win the gold.
After a scoreless first, Dylan Cozens gave Canada a 1-0 lead four minutes into the second.
That's when things got crazy.
With Canada already on a penalty kill in the third, Cole Sillinger was assessed a high-sticking penalty - even though his stick never touched the Finnish player.
Mikael Granlund took advantage, scoring once on the five-on-three power play and then again at five-on-four to put Finland ahead 2-1.
Granlund's two goals in 1:43 was followed by an insurance goal from Joel Armia with 5:56 to go in regulation.
But Canada wasn't done yet.
Just as they did against Sweden in the quarterfinal, the Canadians found a way to rally.
Zach Whitecloud and Max Comtois scored 48 seconds apart in the final 2:12 of regulation - both times with goaltender Matt Tomkins out of the net for an extra attacker - to even the game at three.
A hooking penalty to Thomas Chabot in overtime put the Finns on the power play, and Sakari Manninen capitalized with a one-timer from the left circle 6:42 into extra time to finish the game.
Pierre-Luc Dubois and Adam Lowry were held off the scoresheet in the game. Dubois won 10 of his 15 face-offs and played 22:58, while Lowry played 15:25, had a shot on goal, and won all seven face-offs he took.
Dubois finishes the tournament with seven goals and 13 points in 10 games. His 13 points were tied for the third most in the tournament.
Lowry wrapped up the tournament with four goals and nine points in 10 games.
