Finland opened the scoring early, with Patrik Puistola finding the net before Canada could settle into the game.
The Canadians answered back, as Robert Thomas equalized and Dylan Holloway put them ahead before the first intermission.
Second‑period onslaught
Finland turned the tide in the second period, unleashing a flurry of goals from Aleksander Barkov, Konsta Helenius and Aatu Raty that swung the momentum.
Between the bursts, goaltender Justus Annunen stood tall, making key saves in the closing stages to preserve the lead.
Road to the final
Switzerland, bolstered by a resilient defensive structure, will look to capitalize on Finland's early lead and maintain pressure.
The Swiss side has reached three consecutive finals but is still chasing its first championship, while Finland, a four‑time champion, aims for its first victory since 2022.
