Nick Suzuki and Mitch Marner score goals that saved Canada from an early Olympic exit

Jon Cooper told Canada's players at the second intermission of their quarterfinal matchup against Czechia not to stress if the big goal they needed to stay at the Olympics did not come in the first five minutes of the third period. “It could happen in the last five,” Cooper said. Canada trailed by a goal with under four minutes left Wednesday when Nick Suzuki scored on a textbook deflection goal to tie it.
