BOSTON — After a devastating loss to Team USA on Saturday, Connor McDavid said this thing was far from over for Canada.

On Monday, he guaranteed it, playing the leading role in Canada punching its ticket to Thursday’s 4 Nations Face-Off championship game with the type of performance only the country’s best player would be poised to deliver.

It was do or die against Finland, and McDavid shot first to ensure survival. He hit his target, intercepting Roope Hintz’s exit attempt on his way to scoring unassisted 4:13 into the game.
