The teams traded chances in overtime before Canada went to the power play after Kirill Kaprizov was whistled for slashing with 3:35 elapsed. “I didn’t do too much on the play, I just stood there with my stick,” said O’Reilly. “I still don’t know how (McDavis) got it through on my tape like that.”Final shots were 41-30 in favour of Canada.
