Finland vs. Slovakia: The matchup

Slovakia finished Group B play with a 2-1-0 record and beat Germany (6-2) in the quarterfinals before falling to the U.S.

Finland advanced to the semis with a 3-2 victory of its own over Switzerland, storming back from a 2-0 deficit with goals from Sebastian Aho (53:54) and Miro Heiskanan (58:48) and a game-winner from Artturi Lehkonen in OT.
