Canada is headed back to the Olympic gold medal game after a stunning 3-2 comeback win over Finland in the semifinals.

Finland struck first on Mikko Rantanen’s early power-play blast, then doubled the lead in the second when Erik Haula scored shorthanded to make it 2-0.

Juuse Saros was sharp and seemed to have Canada’s push under control, but the Canadians finally broke through on a power play in the second period when Sam Reinhart redirected a Cale Makar shot to cut the deficit to one.

Canada’s pressure kept building in the third. Shea Theodore tied it 2-2 with a long-range rocket, setting up a frantic finish. 

With time winding down and a late power play expiring, Connor McDavid found Nathan MacKinnon for the go-ahead goal with 35 seconds left, completing the rally.

Canada outshot Finland 39-16 and will face the winner of USA vs. Slovakia for gold.

Recap the game as it happened below. 

End Of Game: Team Canada Wins

Final: Canada 3, Finland 2

What a wild turn of events as Canada comes from two goals behind to win, 3-2. 

Goals from Reinhart, Theodore and MacKinnon send Canada to the gold medal game after it looked like they were down and out. 

Saros was a concrete wall against Team Canada most of the game, but the Canadians were relentless, shooting 39 times to Finland's 17 shots. 

Canada will play the winner of Team USA vs. Slovakia.

Canada takes the lead with only 35 seconds left in the game, just as the power play expires.
