Ovechkin, Team Russia Take Silver

Captain Sidney Crosby (Pittsburgh Penguins) had a goal and an assist to help Canada to a 6-1 win against Russia in the gold-medal game of the 2015 IIHF World Championship on Sunday at O2 Arena in Prague, Czech Republic.

It is Canada's first gold medal since 2007 and the 25th time it has won the World Championship.

Crosby joins the Triple Gold Club for players who have won the Stanley Cup, an Olympic gold medal and a World Championship. He is the 26th player and ninth Canadian-born player to do so. Crosby is the first to captain all three championship teams.
