Canada is looking to rebound from a second‑period collapse that saw them fall to Finland in the semifinals, hoping to salvage a tournament that has already delivered memorable moments.
Norway, meanwhile, is chasing its first medal at this level, having already etched history by advancing to the bronze‑medal game.
