The league led to this high -end round that professionals in North America play again in 2026 after the absence of 2018 and 2022.
The two teams won last Saturday in Montreal by the American guest 3-1, with three battles in the first nine seconds. This time, Charlie, a fight, one of the main figures of the battle against each other, could not play an injury, and caught two stars from the old competitor, Sydney Crossby and Kunor Makadafad.
The decisive importance also indicated the fact that US President Donald Trump wished the players at home good luck on the phone.
This time, the play was the leading role in the beginning. The guest Canadians took the initiative in the fifth minute. At the end of a good crime, Nathan McKinnon crossed a cross, and Conor Helbuick was unable to defend his unexpected shot. This was the fourth strike of the striker in the tournament. The host side weaves and exchanges before the break. Auston Matthews stole a picker behind the gate, placed it in the middle, and Brady Takchuk made a mistake from the defenders' episode.
The beginning of the second period was again for the host side, and Jake Sanderson, who was in the context due to the injury, cut the package from the disorders in front of the target. The Canadians were an answer to this. First, Crossby missed a huge decoration, then Mitch Marner, one of the best prepared in the league, raised the pipe while putting a place for Sam Bennett, who broke the defenders in the empty area and raised it to the upper right corner.
The third period also brought a high -quality game based on defense, but it is no longer a goal. There was a dramatic extension against five to five until the first blow, as was the 2010 Vancouver Olympics.
In the fifth minute of the addition, Jordan Pennington, who was resetting in MVM Dome last May, defended McDavid in front of those who fell from inside the box to the upper left corner.
Within about seventy minutes, one exhibition was granted, the Americans were still in the middle of the game, and the Canadian hockey was not on the penalty.
