Canada overcame the USA 3-2 in overtime in Thursday night’s championship game at the TD Garden in Boston. Connor McDavid scored the game-winning goal at 8:18 in overtime. Nathan MacKinnon and Sam Bennett also scored on the night; Mitch Marner had two assists. Canadian goalie Jordan Binnington made 31 saves for Canada, six of them in overtime, to deny the USA side.

Brady Tkachuk and Jake Sanderson scored for the United States. Team captain Auston Matthews had two assists, and netminder Connor Hellebuyck made 24 saves.

McDavid was named the player of the game for his overtime heroics, while Nathan MacKinnon’s four goals in four games earned him the tournament MVP award.

"There are just so many good players on each side [so] for anyone to pull away would be unexpected," MacKinnon said via NHL.com. "Tight game as we thought. We definitely got bailed out a little by 'Binner' in the overtime and took advantage of it."

The USA is yet to win an international hockey tournament since the 1996 World Cup of Hockey. In contrast, Canada has won six of the past seven best-on-best championships, including winning the gold medal at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, the 2014 Sochi Olympics and the World Cup of Hockey in 2016.
