After Team Canada beat Finland 5-3, they booked their place against Team USA in the 4 Nations Face-Off final.

Canada jumped out to a quick 3-0 lead in the first period after goals from Connor McDavid, Nathan MacKinnon and Brayden Point. MacKinnon added his second of the game and third of the tournament in the second period to further separate themselves from Finland. Finland attempted to make a miraculous comeback, cutting the lead to just one goal before Sidney Crosby added the empty net goal to ensure the win.

Josh Morrissey was once again held off the scoresheet but recorded 19:12 of ice time, third among defenders on Team Canada behind Cale Makar and Devon Toews. The Winnipeg Jets blueliner was able to record two shots on goal and four blocks.

With the win, Canada sets up a rematch against Team USA, and Morrissey will be looking for revenge over his teammates Connor Hellebuyck and Kyle Connor.

USA will take on Sweden tonight, but the result will have no effect on the tournament. USA has clinched first place in the round robin, and Sweden, even if they secure a regulation win, would lose the head-to-head battle against Canada.

Canadian Jets fans will likely be hoping to see Morrissey and Canada prevail, but a sense of pride will likely be felt watching Hellebuyck and Connor hoist the trophy and walk away with gold medals if the Americans are victorious.

Man Utd draw in Spain in Europa League last 16 as Spurs beaten
Man Utd draw in Spain in Europa League last 16 as Spurs beaten
PARIS: Manchester United drew 1-1 away to Real Sociedad in the first leg of their Europa League last-16 tie on Thursday, while Tottenham suffered a 1-0 loss away to Dutch side AZ Alkmaar. Joshua Zirkzee drilled in from just outside the area to give United the lead on 57 minutes in San Sebastian but Mikel Oyarzabal levelled from the spot after Bruno Fernandes was punished for a handball. Zirkzee cut a distraught figure after missing the decisive penalty in last week’s FA Cup shootout loss to Fulham and has endured a testing first season at United, whose only remaining hope of silverware is in the Europa League. He scored for the first time in Europe this term, unleashing a sharp low drive from 20 yards after being teed up by Alejandro Garnacho’s inviting pass. But Ruben Amorim’s side could not hold on to their advantage as Fernandes handled at a corner, with Oyarzabal confidently converting his spot-kick. Andre Onana made two excellent saves to keep United level as Real Sociedad pressed for a winner, leaving the tie evenly poised ahead of next week’s second leg. “I felt until the penalty we had control of the game and then I think the penalty changed a little bit the momentum,” Amorim told TNT Sports. “I felt our team in the last 30 minutes were really, really tired,” he added. “We take this stage to Old Trafford... it’s going to be a different game, the pressure is going to be on us in that stadium and we have to be ready.” Lucas Bergvall’s first-half own goal condemned Spurs to defeat in the Netherlands, and it could have been worse for Ange Postecoglou’s side were it not for two fine saves from Guglielmo Vicario. Rangers recorded an impressive 3-1 win away to a Fenerbahce team coached by Jose Mourinho. Cyriel Dessers put Rangers ahead early on in Istanbul before Alexander Djiku hauled Fenerbahce level. Vaclav Cerny restored the lead for the Scots before striking again nine minutes from time to place Rangers in firm control under interim boss Barry Ferguson. Lyon also took a big stride toward the quarter-finals with a 3-1 victory at Romanians FCSB. Paulo Fonseca fought back tears as his players celebrated Nicolas Tagliafico’s opener with him, a day after the Portuguese coach was banned from the dugout until November by French football officials after an angry altercation with a referee. Malick Fofana won the game for Lyon with two late goals after Alexandru Baluta had equalized for FCSB. Roma host Athletic Bilbao later on Thursday, while Ajax are at home to Eintracht Frankfurt. Lazio travel to Viktoria Plzen for the first leg of their tie.
