was a late power play, but Roy stole the puck at the American blue line and fired it into the empty net at 16:45 to seal the victory. The Americans thought they had tied the game at 7:22 when Jackson Blake spun and slid the puck in from the top of the crease, but Canada asked for a video review based on goalie interference. Del Mastro moved in and wired a hard pass through the crease, Bedard getting enough of the perfect pass to tip it over the outstretched pad of Trey Augustine to give Canada, and the fans, new life. Milic then stoned Chaz Lucius on a breakaway, and Canada made the most of Milic’s heroics by going ahead for the first time. Charlie Stramel took the original shot, and Milic made a fine right pad save, but the puck came right to Kenny Connors, and he wasted no time with the second chance. And as happened all night, Canada weathered that storm and responded with a goal. "That was the team we wanted to beat, and we were down 2-0. continued to take it to Canada, controlling the puck and moving it with a confidence the hosts lacked. Canada had a balanced attack, blocked a ton of shots, and was the beneficiary of two goals disallowed for goalie interference after video review. And I think as we've progressed through the tournament, we've just been getting better and better."

HALIFAX – IIHF president Luc Tardif said Thursday “there has been damage” to the game of hockey because of the Hockey Canada scandal.

“We’ve had discussions with with NHL, NHLPA, and for us that’s a big problem (holding the tournament) in February because they will need European players, it will be in Europe, and we’ve got the World Championship three months after. The last World Cup of Hockey was held in late September 2016. On Thursday, Tardif said “we are not travel agents,” seemingly a reference to the NHL’s condition. He also added that the NHL players “need to have the same rules” as the other Olympic athletes. Tardif said a decision on whether or not to reinstate Russia and Belarus would be made at the IIHF Congress in May. “First, I think the impact here in Canada is something else than in the international world,” Tardif said.
