Aleksi Heponiemi scored the game-tying goal when Eeli Tolvanen’s centering attempt deflected in off his shin with 47 seconds left in regulation and then drew the secondary assist on Toni Utunen’s winner in Finland’s 2-1 overtime stunner over Owen Tippett and defending champion, Canada.
In addition to his two points, Hepomiemi finished the game with two shots on goal and a +2 rating in 22:12 TOI.
Finland will advance to semifinals where they will face pesky Switzerland, who shocked Sweden by a 2-0 count, thanks to a 41-save performance from Luca Hollenstein.
