Nick Paul scored in overtime on a 2-and-1 break with Ottawa Senators teammate Connor Brown and Canada won its 27th world hockey title, beating Finland 3-2 on Sunday night.
Brown slid the puck over to Paul and he beat goaltender Jussi Olkinuora 6:26 into the extra frame.
Andrew Mangiapane, whose arrival midway through the preliminary round provided a spark for Canada, was named player of the tournament. The Calgary Flames forward had seven goals — including the winners in Canada’s quarterfinal and semifinal victories — and four assists in seven games.
Red Wings German defense prospect Moritz Seider, drafted sixth-overall by Detroit in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft, was named as the tournament's top defenseman by the tournament directorate.
