<p>There won&#8217;t be a repeat champion at the 2022 IIHF World Championship.</p>
<p>After winning last year&#8217;s event, Canada returned to the Gold Medal Game once again, only to face off against Finland for a third straight tournament. Sadly, despite a late comeback effort, paired with some awful officiating, Team Canada couldn&#8217;t fend off the Finns.</p>
<p>In the end, Finland proved victorious in overtime thanks to a power-play goal from Sakari Manninen, winning via a 4-3 outcome. The goal was set up by Nashville Predators forward @Mikael Granlund, registering his third point of the game.</p>

<p>Unfortunately, Winnipeg Jets forwards @Pierre-Luc Dubois and @Adam Lowry were both held off the score sheet in this contest. For Canada, however, New York Islanders forward @Mathew Barzal led the way by earning a primary assist on all three of his country&#8217;s goals.</p>
<p>Dubois, who scored seven goals and 13 points during the tournament, was recognized for his impressive performance and was named as one of six All-Stars on the World Championship roster.</p>

<p>As for Dubois&#8217; teammate, Lowry, he posted four goals and nine points through 10 games. A respectable showing by the veteran centre, as well.</p>
<p>Both Dubois and Lowry will take home a silver medal for their respective efforts. Now, they&#8217;ll head into the off-season before reporting to the Jets&#8217; training camp in the fall.</p>
<p>On a related note, defenceman @Nate Schmidt &#8211; who registered two goals and six points in the tournament &#8211; and Team USA were unable to secure a bronze medal versus Czechia. The Czechs claimed bronze after defeating the Americans 8-4.</p>
