IIHF World Championship: Canada tops Norway 4-2 in must-win game

Canada struggled through losses in the first three games during the preliminary round at the IIHF World Championship in Riga, Latvia, but they finally got a much-needed win on Wednesday against Norway.

It looked like Canada was going to run away with it early as they scored two goals in the first period, but in the first few minutes of the second period, Norway evened the score with goals by Thomas Valkae Olsen and Max Krogdahl.

The goals were just 80 seconds apart and Norway goalkeeper Henrik Haukeland made several big saves to start the second to tie it all up.
