Canada wins the bronze medal game against Finland

05 Jan 2012 | Henrik Lundqvist

The host Canada beat Finland 4-0 in the bronze medal game in Calgary to end the tournament in the third place.

Don Hay's Canada scored four times and the goalie Mark Visentin earned a shutout to beat Finland 4-0.

Tanner Pearson made it 1-0 on a power play in the middle of the first period. He also got an assist on the 2-0 goal at 25:35 when a Finnish defenseman lost the puck to him in the corner and he passed it to Mark Scheifele who doubled the home lead.

A couple of minutes later Finland got a penalty shot but Teemu Pulkkinen's finish was poor.

Close to the end of the second period Quinton Howden made it 3-0 with a back-hander during a power play. Howden also closed the scoring at 57:35 when he was all alone at the far post beautifully setup by Mark Stone.

Mark Visentin earned his first shutout of the championship thanks to 27 saves, the most spectacular one at two minutes of the third period when he made an incredible glove save behind his back.
