Just seeing that puck go in, knowing that we won the game. &#8230; It was a good feeling for all of us.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Finland also escaped an upset bid by rallying to beat Switzerland 3-2 in OT. Sweden is going home early from a tournament that did not go as planned for a team with a full roster of 25 NHL players, while upstart Slovakia is making another improbable run at the Games.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>After Canada did its part, albeit with a roller coaster of drama and emotion, the U.S. kept alive the possibility of the North American rivals meeting in the gold medal game Sunday by riding goaltender Connor Hellebuyck&#8217;s solid play past Sweden.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. will face Slovakia in one semifinal on Friday night. Just before that, also unbeaten Canada plays Finland in the other.<\/p>\n<p>After losing captain Sidney Crosby to injury, Canada was staring down what would have been a stunning quarterfinal exit until Nick Suzuki tied it on a deflection goal with 3:27 left. Then Mitch Marner scored a little more than a minute into overtime to beat Czechia 4-3 and send the tournament favorite into the semifinals.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Everybody had complete faith in whoever was going over the boards,&#8221; coach Jon Cooper said. &#8220;It just felt it was like a matter of time. It was going to happen.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The nerves were palpable when Canada fell behind with 7:42 remaining on Ondrej Palat&#8217;s goal on an odd-man rush off a pass from Martin Necas. Replays showed Czechia had six skaters on the ice, which Nathan MacKinnon said he and his teammates were aware of, even if on-ice officials didn&#8217;t notice.<\/p>\n<p>Suzuki just about did it all on the tying goal, sending the puck out to the point to Devon Toews and then redirecting the defenseman&#8217;s shot that was going well wide past Lukas Dostal and into the net.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Toewser gave me a perfect opportunity to tip it,&#8221; Suzuki said. &#8220;Just trying to put something on net there.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Jordan Binnington denied David Pastrnak on a breakaway with 70 seconds left to send the game past regulation. It was the biggest of Binnington&#8217;s 21 saves in an excellent performance from Canada&#8217;s starter.<\/p>\n<p>Then Marner summoned some more heroics playing for Canada, scoring his second OT goal in an international tournament in as many chances. Marner also scored in a similar fashion a year ago at the 4 Nations Face-Off.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s the &#8216;it&#8217; factor, man: Mitch Marner&#8217;s got it,&#8221; Cooper said. &#8220;He doesn&#8217;t disappoint. Sometimes your hair falls out at times, but in the end, he never disappoints.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Much like Canada, Finland was trailing late in its game against Switzerland. The Finns also got a late goal to avoid an upset defeat.<\/p>\n<p>Miro Heiskanen tied it with 72 seconds left, Artturi Lehkonen scored in overtime, and Finland escaped with a 3-2 victory. Heiskanen&#8217;s shot banked in off Switzerland defenseman Jonas Siegenthaler&#8217;s stick and past goaltender Leonardo Genoni.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are a relentless team,&#8221; Heiskanen said. &#8220;We never give up. We know we had a tough start. It was a slow start, but we kept playing, kept working and it paid off.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Finland was actually down two goals after Switzerland&#8217;s Damien Riat and Nino Niederreiter scored 1 minute, 12 seconds apart in the first period. It took until there was 6:06 left before Sebastian Aho got Finland on the board.<\/p>\n<p>Dalibor Dvorsky turned in another brilliant performance with a goal and an assist, fellow NHL forward Pavol Regenda scored twice as part of his three-point game, and Slovakia dominated Germany 6-2 on to reach the semifinals and guarantee playing for a medal in Milan.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Amazing,&#8221; said alternate captain Erik Cernak, a two-time Stanley Cup champion with the Tampa Bay Lightning. &#8220;Before the tournament, if we would say we&#8217;re going to make semifinals, probably people would laugh at you. But we did it, and it&#8217;s not done yet.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Slovakia got an injury scare in the second period when 21-year-old emerging Montreal Canadiens star Juraj Slafkovsky, the reigning Olympic MVP, went head-first into the boards and was slow to get up. A trainer applied an ice pack to the back of Slafkovsky&#8217;s neck, and he held it on himself when he got up to celebrate a goal scored while he was getting medical attention.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m OK,&#8221; Slafkovsky said. &#8220;I was a little shaken up, but after a couple minutes I felt OK again. I went out there, and head wasn&#8217;t spinning. I was seeing normal.&#8221;<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!-- data-recirc-source=\"chartbeat\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation  component--type-recirculation-collection\">\n<div class=\"component__heading-wrapper recirc\">\n<h3 class=\"component__title\">Milan Winter Olympics 2026<br \/>\n                          <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/feature\/milan-winter-olympics-2026\/?intcid=CNI-00-10aaa3a\" class=\"component__view-more component__view-more--lg\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\"><br \/>\n                More<br \/>\n                <svg viewbox=\"0 0 32 32\" class=\"icon__caret-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n                  <use xlink:href=\"#icon-caret-down\"\/>\n                <\/svg><br \/>\n              <\/a><br \/>\n                      <\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n      <!-- tags --><\/p>\n<section class=\"content__tags\">\n<p class=\"content__tags__label\">In:<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/usa-mens-hockey-sweden-olympics-quarterfinal\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The U.S. and Canada are moving on to the semifinals at the Olympics.
