2026-06-04The two teams that lost in the 2021 IIHF World Junior semifinals will now have to regroup or leave empty-handed. Ru sia was handed a lopsided 5-0 lo s by Canada before Finland fought to tie its semifinal game with the Americans before being shocked with 76 seconds left in regulation. They'll now meet in the bronze-medal game before Canada and the United States play for gold. "It's gonna be tough for sure," Finnish head coach Antti Pennanen said after his team's lo s to the U.S. "But, of course, it's our last game. So I hope we bring the team effort tomorrow." MORE: "It's been a really awesome trip with these guys to be here in the bubble," said KasperPuutio, who had two a sists in the semifinal matchup. "We still want to get a medal and be proud of this team. So we're still definitely going to be giving the best that we have tomorrow and trying to get the bronze medal." Finland brings a never-say-die attitude to the game, as it not only came back against the Americans to tie things up but also beat Sweden in the quarterfinals on a goal with 25 seconds left to cap off three unanswered goals. With a solid defensive core that gets things done on both ends of the ice and a potent power play, Finland will be a tough opponent for Hockey Hall of Famer Igor Larionov's squad. The Ru sians don't have much scoring depth beyond their top-6 and will be looking for a much better performance out of their netminder. Yaroslav Askarov allowed four goalson 34 shots to the Canadians and seemed to have trouble holding onto his stick for much of the first period.
