Canada led 4-0 with less than seven minutes left before a late Finland rally nearly threatened Canada's spot in the title game, which will be a Canada-USA rematch

Canada hung on for a 5-3 victory over Finland Monday afternoon at TD Garden to tee up a high-profile championship bout with Team USA on Thursday, which will make for a riveting conclusion to a captivating tournament that has been more than the NHL could’ve ever asked for.

Nathan MacKinnon scored twice. Connor McDavid had a goal and an assist. Sidney Crosby flipped in an empty-netter from center ice after Finland cut a four-goal deficit to one in the final minutes. Canada’s best players came through in the 4 Nations Face-Off on Monday to earn a rematch of their fight-filled preliminary bout with the United States.
