Holders Canada sealed their place in the ice hockey world championship final with a dramatic 4-2 comeback victory over fellow heavyweights Russia in Saturday's semi-final in Cologne. The Canadians will bid for a third successive title against Sweden or Finland, who meet later on in the second semi-final. A win for Canada would draw them level with record champions Russia, who claimed 22 of their 27 world titles as the Soviet Union.
In a tight contest Russia, the 2014 world champions, were cruising at 2-0 up in the second period thanks to scorers Evgeny Kuznetsov and Nikita Gusev. The Russians took the lead when Washington Capitals star Evgeny Kuznetsov was presented with an easy tap-in.
