World junior gold belongs to Canada once again after a classic victory over Russia.
Canada came perilously close to blowing a four-goal lead and hung on through an intense third period to beat Russia 5-4 on home ice at Air Canada Centre on Monday night.
“There were some tense moments… That was one of the craziest games I’ve ever been a part of,” said defenceman Josh Morrissey.
The win ended Canada’s gold-medal drought that dated to 2009. It’s the nation’s first medal in this tournament since 2012.
