Canada's Sarah Vaillancourt (top of picture) has sent the puck towards the corner of the Finnish goal, and Noora Räty cannot get across in time. Jayna Hefford (16) watches at close quarters and prepares to celebrate the Canadian goal. Vaillancourt scored twice in less than a minute during the second period, as Canada escaped to a 4-1 lead. Now the Finnish women must await the outcome of the Canada-USA clash on Thursday. Victory for Canada would put Finland into the final for a rematch against the Canadians, the reigning World Champions.
