USA vs. Finland results Arthur Kaliyevs late goal

As the old saying goes,"What's old is new again," and in 2021, what's new was the result.Like Monday's first World Junior Championship semifinal, whichsaw Canada beatRu sia for a spot in the gold-medal game, the United States and Finland have a history. Two years ago, the Finns bested the Americans in the gold-medal gamewhen now-Rangers forward Kaapo Kakko netted the go-ahead goal with 1:26 on the clock. Last year, Finland pitched a shutout to send the Americans home in the quarterfinals anddash theirhopes of a fifth straight year with a medal.But now it's 2021 andthe Americans have broken through. With just 1:16 on the clock  and a smidge over two minutes after the Finns tied the game after trailing 3-1 entering the final frame Arthur Kaliyev made it a party in the USA with what became the game-winning goal in a 4-3 victory."Obviously  Yovani Gallardo Jersey that was probably the craziest period of hockey I've ever played in," said John Farinacci, who scored the United States' second goal. "They're a really good team and we let them getback in the game a little bit with those two goals, but, you know, obviously Kaliyev and Alex Turcotte, who had the first a sist made a great play at the end there togive us the lead and ultimately the win.""I saw himwide open, which usually is never really an option because everyone knows how good of a goal scorer he is," Turcotte said as he described setting up the game-winner. "My eyes lit up and just ripped it to himand he had an unbelievable shot."Kaliyev was one of eight players from last year's U.S. squad to return (Bobby Brink, Cole Caufield, Spencer Knight, Alex Turcotte, Dustin Wolf, Cam York and Trevor Zegras are the others). Before the game, head coach Nate Leaman said he thought this group "might have a chip their shoulder."Well, seven of the eight (Wolf was the backup goalie) played key roles, including Turcotte, who had a  Zach Davies Jersey goal and the primary apple on Kaliyev's winner; and Zegras and Caufield, who had the helpers on Matthew Boldy's goal that gave the U.S. a 3-1 lead. With his apple, Zegras is now tied for second on USA Hockey's World Juniors all-time lists for a sists in a single tournament (10, with Derek Stepan and Phil Ke sel); points in a single tournament (16, withJeremy Roenick) and points in a career (25, withRoenick).Zegras also is tied atop the 2021 scoring leaderboard withCanada's Dylan Cozens at 16."He's very worthy of being the player that's leading the tournament in points. He's earned them," Leaman said postgame. "I think he works hard. I think tomorrow I'm very aware that Canada's going to try to bump him and take him out of his game, but I think he's mature enough to stay in that."In between the pipes was Knight, who was one of three U.S. goaliesin 2019and maybe had a little extra motivation. He was solid, stopping 33 of 36 shots, allowinggoals to Kasper Simontaival (two) and Roni Hirvonen. Simontaival's first goal was off a pretty pa sing play on the power play that would have been difficult for even the most veteran of netminders to stop and his second was after being left alone by the U.S. defense. With his sixth career win in the World Juniors on Monday night, Knight is now tied with Brian Boucher and Mike Dunham for fourth on USA Hockey's all-time wins list."It was a good game. A lot of momentum swings, great junior hockey, great tournament," said Leaman. "Finland'sknocked USA out of the tournament the past few years. It was a hump we had to get over and really proud of the guys."The U.S. will now face off against its North Americanrival for the gold."We know that they're the team to beat in this tournament," Leaman said. "We know everything's been written about them from Day 1.We know that this is one of their best teams all time.We're going togo. We want to challenge. Wewant the opportunity."Sporting News hadall the action as the United States nabbedaspot in the gold-medal game against the Canadians.(All times Eastern) USA vs. Finland score, highlights from 2021 Hernan Perez Jersey  World Juniors semifinalsThird period: USA 4, Finland 311:55 p.m.   13.3 seconds left.
