Canada defeated Finland in the quarterfinal of men’s hockey at the 2018 Winter Olympics and will move on to the semifinals.
The game was scoreless in the first two periods. Canada’s Maxim Noreau scored early in the third, the only goal of the game.
Goaltender Ben Scrivens left the game with an injury. He was hurt in the second period when an Eric O’Dell check sent a Finnish player crashing into Scrivens.
WATCH: Canadians attending the Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang aren’t concerned NHL players won’t be competing in the Games, saying they’re excited to cheer on whoever puts on the maple leaf.
The Canadian goaltender appeared to skate off the injury and briefly remained in the game, but came out at the next stoppage in play in favour of Kevin Poulin at 4:17 of the period.
Hockey Canada said in a statement that Scrivens suffered an “upper-body injury.”
Scrivens has carried the bulk of Canada’s load in goal at the Pyeongchang Games, but Poulin played in Canada’s 4-0 win over South Korea on Sunday.
