Team Canada has forced overtime in the Bronze Medal game against Norway after a stunning late-game comeback, according to Darren Dreger of TSN.
Trailing in the final stages of regulation, the Canadian squad managed to claw back by scoring two goals in a span of just 1 minute and 15 seconds. The rapid scoring surge erased a deficit and stunned the Norwegian side, sending the contest into a sudden-death overtime period to determine who will take home the bronze medal.
The high-stakes game, currently airing on TSN, saw Canada struggling to find the back of the net for much of the match before the offensive explosion late in the third period. These late-game heroics keep Canada’s hopes of reaching the podium alive after a hard-fought tournament.
Norway had been leading for a significant portion of the match before the momentum shifted entirely in favor of the Canadians during that 75-second window. The winner of the upcoming overtime period will secure the bronze medal, while the loser will finish the tournament in fourth place.
