There will be no successful title defence for Canada’s national junior hockey team.

Patrik Laine’s power-play goal with 5:50 remaining earned Finland a wild 6-5 quarter-final win over Canada on Saturday.

Canada, the defending tournament champion, started the contest strong, scoring on three of its first 10 shots.

Finland will meet Sweden in the semifinals. The Swedes dispatched Slovakia 6-0 in their quarter-final match.
