In the most anticipated rematch of the the 2021 World Juniors, Team Canada and Team Russia met in a rematch of last year’s gold medal game, with a spot in the final on the line.
Russia got into the offensive zone first, but the Canadians counterattacked, causing mayhem in the offensive zone. 51 seconds in, the newly returned Alex Newhook rifled the puck at the net. The puck hit the bar at the back of the net and flew out again so quickly that play continued. However, they did catch it and review it for a good goal.
