TORONTO (CANADA) - Brad Marchand scored twice and Sidney Crosby finished with a team-high three points as Canada rallied to beat Russia 5-3 on Saturday in the semi-finals of the World Cup of Hockey. Canada advances to the best-of-three final series where they will play the winner of the other semi between Sweden and Team Europe. Team Canada extended its winning streak in best-on-best events to 14 straight, dating back to a 5-3 loss to USA in the early rounds of the 2010 Vancouver Olympic men's hockey tournament. Marchand also scored the tieing goal on another assist from Crosby -- Canada's top player and the leading scorer of the tournament with seven points. Team Europe, which didn't exist until a few weeks ago, plays Sweden in the other semi-final on Sunday.
