Game Report 375		IIHF World Championship
PLAYED AT: AccorHotels Arena Date: May 11, 2017 GAME NOTES: CANADA COMES BACK TO EDGE HOSTS AT IIHF WORLDS JASON LA ROSE PARIS, France – Marc-Édouard Vlasic (Montreal, Que./San Jose, NHL) scored the winner on a friendly bounce early in the third period, and Canada’s National Men’s Team came from behind to beat France 3-2 in front of more than 14,000 fans on Thursday, remaining unbeaten at the 2017 IIHF World Championship. With the Canadians controlling the puck in the French zone, Vlasic threw a shot towards the net that bounced off the end boards and off goaltender Florian Hardy before it was helped across the line by a French defender, giving Canada the decisive goal. For Vlasic, it was his first international goal in his 23rd international game, spanning three worlds, an Olympic Winter Games and a World Cup of Hockey. Ryan O’Reilly (Varna, Ont./Buffalo, NHL) scored early in the first period and Claude Giroux (Hearst, Ont./Philadelphia, NHL) tied the game late in the second for Canada, which is the only team with a full 12 points from its first four games. O’Reilly opened the scoring on the power play at 5:19, taking a pass down low from Nathan MacKinnon (Cole Harbour, N.S./Colorado, NHL) and beating Hardy with a backhand, but Olivier Dame-Malka brought the hosts even less than four minutes later, hammering a one-timer past Canadian goaltender Chad Johnson (Calgary, Alta./Calgary, NHL). An early man advantage produced the go-ahead goal for the French in the second period; they stretched out the Canadian penalty kill before Stéphane da Costa went cross-ice to Damien Fleury for the 2-1 marker. France looked like it was going to take that lead to the second intermission, but Canada capitalized on a power play in the final minute of the middle frame, with Giroux wiring a perfect shot over the glove of Hardy to make it 2-2 after 40 minutes. Buoyed by the home-country crowd at AccorHotels Arena the French applied the pressure after the Vlasic goal, outshooting Canada 12-10 in the third period on the strength of five minutes of power-play time, but couldn’t find a way past Johnson, who made 22 saves. Canada finished with a 35-24 advantage in shots on goal. The Canadians return to the ice Saturday to take on Switzerland (2 p.m. ET/11 a.m. PT). Canada is 25-2-2 all-time against the Swiss at worlds, dating back to their first meeting in 1934. Visiting Team: Canada Home Team: France
