Canada vs. Finland box score: Full stats from 2026 Olympic men's hockey semifinals

The legend of Sidney Crosby’s Olympic career hangs in the balance as he watches from the sidelines tonight, leaving Team Canada to navigate a high-stakes semifinal against Finland without their iconic captain.

In his absence, the passing of the torch has arrived with the weight of a gold medal on the line, forcing Connor McDavid to step into the captaincy and lead a lineup reshuffled by injury and the memory of a harrowing quarterfinal. Having survived a 4-3 overtime thriller against Czechia—erasing a late third-period deficit thanks to the heroics of Nick Suzuki and Mitch Marner —the Canadians now face a Finnish squad that thrives on the very chaos Canada narrowly escaped.

Across the red line stands a Finnish team that is no stranger to the big stage. The defending champions punched their ticket to this heavyweight clash only after a stunning rally against Switzerland, capped by Artturi Lehkonen’s sudden-death winner in the final frame. As the puck drops in Milan, the narrative is a pure collision of styles: Canada’s high-octane offensive desperation meeting the disciplined, cold-blooded efficiency of a Finnish program that refuses to break, even when the lights are brightest.

At the end of one, it's Finland who has a 1 -0 lead on a Mikko Rantanen goal. For the second straight game, Canada finds itself behind, with 40 minutes remaining to punch a ticket to the gold medal game.

Here is the box score from the game so far.
