Condensed Game: Canada vs. Norway | 2026 #MensWorlds

O'Reilly and his Canadian teammates still buzzing two days later about Sidney Crosby's one-handed assist to O'Reilly as Crosby works it and shoots. Stopped by Norman and the rebound put through the crease by Salabrini. Osby steps on the penalty box. Auston Salston works in. Auston Salston, a backhand shot stopped by Talbot. In by Witherspoon. Centering pass, great stop there by Norman. Point blank. He's got the chance at one end to one time in the empty net and elects to go to his backhand. Oh, he's got all kinds of room. Just doesn't elevate it. Chance for Vesterheim in front. Doesn't stick down wide. Stolen back by Bakke-Olsen. Centers it. Vesterheim, a backhand shot. Rebound. Loose in front. Bakke-Olsen winds back and he fires. Scores! Pass killed Bakke-Olsen. Gives Norway a 1-0 lead in Canada trails for the first time in the tournament. The other end gets the puck on his stick a couple times. Turns it over and Bakke-Olsen jumps on it and puts it past Kam Talbot. And Norway fully engaged in this game now. Gets a kill early. 20-23. Norway took a 2-0 lead on Canada and won that game 3-2 in a shootout. All the way for Rodney. Works in. Ronald Rodney turned away in tight. Passes to O'Reilly. Moves out of the center ice. Defense playing with Max Prodaly. Passes to a long time for them as Thomas is turned away in tight. Back for Scheifele. 20 seconds to go on the power play. Bouchard. Back for Scheifele. To the goal by Pallardi with a chance. Norman down. Kicked out of way. Monday goes back to winning. Now you're starting. Still looks pretty good. Johannesson a long shot. Scores! Johannes Johannesson through the traffic and Norway's got a 2-0 lead. Stretch it out. Ronald Rodney loses a face-off and then it's just with a layered screen quickly shot in by Johannesson. Rolling puck. Dipping and diving. I don't think Camp Delvet ever sees it with Pedersen and Koblar in front. Mark Scheifele slings it back across the white cloud. Tees it up and shoots. Now he's stopped. Now Scheifele works it. Scores! Mark Scheifele gets his first of this world championship down by one. And makes it happen. He tries to pop out for the rebound and cruising down the middle. Bounces through. Strong stick. Good stick handle on his way down. Bob, you're smiling somewhere. Diving out. Chopping it up. Denton Mateja for Pallardi. Back across to his Winnipeg Jets teammate Mark Scheifele. Scheifele pivots back. Drops it off. Wotherspoon. Back for Scheifele. Hard shot. Scores! Mark Scheifele with his second of the period ties the game in two. On the entry Scheifele works a give and go. Cut. Drop. Find the seam and rip. And look where Ryan O'Reilly is. Wotherspoon finds Mark Scheifele. He shoots this puck not right in the corner but Norman can't get out of his net. Down to Thomas. Robert Thomas to Bouchard. Thomas walks in. Waits and shoots. Norman makes the stop and Tavares batted the rebound over the crossbar. Colby Olsen. Steen fighting for space in front. Bakke Olsen. Goes up back to Johannesson. Takes the return pass. And Johannesson back across. Messerheim shoots. Score! Tipped in front by Noah Steen. Power play goal. And Norway's back on top. Messerheim. It's a nice one if it is. Norway just keeps it in. Works over for a one-timer. You know it might be. Darnell Nurse takes a shooting lane away as he should. Bouchard a hair late on the rotation and no chance for Cam Talbot. Good movement. Thomas flips it ahead. Scheifele walks right in. Scheifele backhands it back in front. And Valardi missed on that. DiMello for O'Reilly down to Scheifele. Scheifele through the traffic. It was blocked in front. You know kept alive by Scheifele. Bat sat down. In comes Thomas. Shoots. And the glove save made by Norman. Off the draw. Scheifele across for DiMello. That long shot hit the leg. In comes Morgan O'Reilly with a drive. And Norman swept that to the glass and out. By Ostrom Solsten. 2-1-1 Norway. Ostrom Solsten shoots. And Talbot makes the save with his right arm. Ostrom Solsten. Loose puck in front. Celebrini turned away by Norman. Wetherspoon. Crosby and Valardi standing in front. Now Crosby with it.

Norman makes a save on that. A pileup at the crease. Players in behind Norman. Helping to make the stops. Here's Bouchard again. Has it back up. Here's Scheifele. Works it back to Bouchard. He's got a lane. Scheifele walks it in. Shoots. Norman save. Rebound. Score. Dave Valardi. Power play goal. And the pressure finally pays off as Canada ties the game at three. Wild sequence before the goal. Rebounds everywhere. Canada kept the puck alive. And Valardi able to take this puck. Norman, you see how much he's moving as he makes a save. He's sliding. Johansson puts that wide off the other side. Talbot save. Rebound. Loose in front. Thomas is down. The puck comes loose and squirts just wide. Nervous moment. Vesterheim stepped out for a guy going off. Rogdahl centers it. Backhand shot. Oh, Erickson had an open net and missed wide. Cal Erickson had a wide open net and missed on the backhand. The point to Johansson that's ticked away by Nurse. Now picked up by Cousins. Short-handed. In comes Dylan Cousins. Driving in. Cousins scores. Short-handed goal. Dylan Cousins and Canada leads for the first time. Darnell Nurse jumps the cycle nicely. Cousins knocks it down and right here he's like I got a foot race. Johansson gets back but he exposes the triangle and Thomas feeds that back to Morgan Riley. Robert Thomas has got a lane. Shoots. Kicked out by Norman. Loose puck. Holloway shoots. That's off the skate of Christian Oshby in front. Thomas drops that back for Riley. In for Holloway. Feeds it back in front and O'Reilly hits the crossbar. Pumps it back down the Norwegian zone. Oh, a line change. He's making a change. Andreas Martinsen walks in. Talbot makes the stop. Casastule. DeMello stepped into him and now Cousins back on it. Poked out by DeMello. Banked back to Kroger with a shot. Scores. A point shot by Christian Casastule. Finds his way through and the game is once again tied. By a good forecheck, Dillon Cousins had a couple of these. Noah Steen wins the battle. Knocks him off the puck. Creates the turnover that gets to the front of the net. Can't tell but can't find the puck through the slashing screen. That thing's dipping and diving. Cousins back with it. Dane Sennereisen fires that down. Thomas works that free. Sends it for Cousins in the high slot. Holloway is shot. Norman makes a save on that. He's had five shutouts in his first nine appearances for Canada at the World Championship. Pettersson a long shot. Scores. Pettersson snaps it over his shoulder. Back in front. Colbert might have got a piece of that on the way in. Stunning development. Give and drive. A little flicker. Nothing. Colbert gets a piece of it with the shaft of his stick. Almost accidentally gets a tip. Played back to Bouchard. Long wrist shot. Norman's save. Rebound loose in front. Norman's got that. He's knocked into the net. Ramble draw. Picked up by Krodo. Bet that was Bouchard. Crosby. Scheifele shoots from a sharp angle. Almost stuck that by Norman. So does Bouchard. You know Scheifele to back him up. Vesterheim moves in on Matejček. Stolberg back across. Aims. Shoots. Got a piece of that. Bouchard keeps it alive for Tavares. John Tavares works back and shoots. Norman makes a stop on that. Ways forward. Vesterheim. Knocked down by Celebrini. Back to Celebrini. To Crosby. Back for Celebrini. To Bouchard. In for Celebrini. Celebrini shoots. Scores. Deflected in front. The game at five with one thirty-nine. Ryan O'Reilly gets a stick on that to tie it up. Finds a loose spot after a really good keep from Celebrini and Bouchard and there's too many bodies in front for Norway to cover them all. The weak side winger had been pulled a little too far up and so you see O'Reilly splitting the defenseman. Celebrini basically passing it to his blade. Now Vesterheim. Lost the puck to Scheifele and away comes Canada. Scheifele along with Celebrini. Bouchard jumping in. Celebrini winds in. Bouchard and feeds it back across. They score. Mark Scheifele had kicked goal and Canada wins at 6-5. Canada runs its record to 4-0 with a 6-5 knee-knocking win over Norway. What a nice play. Bouchard left his check in the defensive zone. Vesterheim and he never could catch him. The two defenders, one of whom is a forward, played it like it was a three on three. It was not. Three on two.
