A power-play goal by Patrice Bergeron evened the score with 2:53 remaining in regulation before a shorthanded goal by Brad Marchand with 44 seconds left put Canada in front as they claimed the 2016 World Cup of Hockey title with a 2-1 win on Thursday night at Air Canada Centre in Toronto.
The final two teams in the World Cup of Hockey are set. Team Canada, the favorite upon the start of the tournament, will face the surprise team of the tournament, Team Europe, in the best of three final series starting on Tuesday night.
Team Canada, Team Europe, Team Sweden and Team Russia all advanced to the semi-finals of the tournament, eliminating Team USA, Team North America, Team Finland and Team Czech Republic, meaning Flyers Jake Voracek, Sean Couturier, Shayne Gostisbehere and Michal Neuvirth will be returning to the Flyers much sooner than originally anticipated. Claude Giroux, Mark Streit and Pierre-Edouard Bellemare remain in the tournament.
