A huge comeback on the scoreboard in the final frame in the third period a couple of days ago for defenseman Drew Doughty and Team Canada vs. Finland in the semi-finals round this past Thursday helped their side advance to the gold medal game vs. Team USA. The 3-2 comeback win in the final frame in the third period for Doughty, goalie Darcy Kuemper, and Team Canada helps them advance to play for the gold medal late this weekend on Sunday morning (Feb. 22) vs. Quinn Hughes and the United States.
While Doughty's efforts haven't shown up on the stat sheet in terms of the value he's provided to Team Canada on both ends of the ice, he's been reliable and consistent defensively on the blue line for this squad in this past couple of weeks on the ice.
Canada locking down on Team Finland in the final frame in the third period allowed their team to come back on the scoreboard late for a massive rally and a 3-2 victory to advance to the gold medal game late this weekend on Sunday.
Doughty, Kuemper, and Team Canada will face a United States team firing on all cylinders on both ends of the ice, especially scoring the puck offensively in the zone in this past couple of games in the Olympics. Team USA dominated Slovakia on the ice and on the scoreboard to the tune of a convincing 6-2 victory in the semi-finals late this week on Friday (Feb. 20).
