Game Report 83		NWT - 4 Nations Cup
PLAYED AT: Vierumäki Ice Arena Date: Oct 30, 2016 GAME NOTES: CANADA TOPS FINLAND IN 4 NATIONS TUNE-UP WENDY GRAVES VIERUMÄKI, Finland – Meghan Agosta (Ruthven, Ont./Hockey Canada), Bailey Bram (St. Anne, Man./Calgary, CWHL), Laura Fortino (Hamilton, Ont./Brampton, CWHL) and Marie-Philip Poulin (Beauceville, Que./Montreal, CWHL) scored as Canada’s National Women’s Team topped Finland 4-1 in pre-4 Nations Cup play on Sunday. Emerance Maschmeyer (Bruderheim, Alta./Calgary, CWHL) and Geneviève Lacasse (Kingston, Ont./Calgary, CWHL) split time in net in the win. Canada got the early jump in this one. Only 4:38 into the first period, Agosta knocked in a rebound down low to put the home team on its heels. Finland responded midway through the period. With Mélodie Daoust (Valleyfield, Que./McGill University, RSEQ) off for slashing, the Finns needed only 12 seconds to take advantage of the extra skater. A point shot from Noora Tulus was stopped by Maschmeyer, but Jenni Hiirikoski scored on the rebound. Canada retook a lead it wouldn’t relinquish 13:26 into the second period. Bram created a turnover in the Finnish zone, then went five-hole for the unassisted goal. An early third period marker gave Canada some breathing room. Fortino took a pass from Daoust, walked through a slew of Finnish players through the slot and cleanly beat Noora Räty to make it 3-1. Finland took its chances to draw closer. With Tara Watchorn (Newcastle, Ont./Boston, CWHL) sitting for slashing, Finland pulled Räty with five minutes remaining in the third. Canada, however, escaped the extended six-on-four unscathed. With only 1:33 left in regulation, Jamie Lee Rattray (Kanata, Ont./Brampton, CWHL) got sent off for tripping and once again Finland pulled its goaltender for a two-man advantage. This time, though, off a turnover in the neutral zone, Poulin shot from just over the blue line for a shorthanded empty-net goal. Canada outshot Finland 23-17 overall. Sunday’s game was Canada’s only pre-competition contest; it faces Finland once again on Tuesday on the opening day of the 2016 4 Nations Cup. Canada then meets Sweden on Nov. 2 and the United States on Nov. 4. The medal games will be played on Nov. 5. Canada took silver last year. It’s won the gold medal 14 times in 20 tournaments, overall, mostly recently in 2014. Visiting Team: Canada Home Team: Finland
