New York Islanders forward Mathew Barzal earned a silver medal while representing Canada at this year’s World Hockey Championship.
Barzal and Canada made it to the tournament final, before losing to Finland. Canada made a great effort to come back from a 3-1 deficit in the final couple minutes of the game to tie it, but still ended up falling in overtime.
