Finland won the 2016 IIHF World Junior Championships gold medal with a dramatic 4-3 overtime victory over Russia.
Kasperi Kapanen's overtime wrap-around effort 93 seconds into the extra period secured Finland's fourth world junior ice hockey title and their second in the past three years.

The home fans were stunned into silence inside the first five minutes, after a powerplay goal by Vladislav Kamenev put Russia 1-0 ahead.

The Russians were happy to sit back after Kamenev's goal, forcing Finland to work hard to find openings during the first and second periods.

Patrik Laine tied the game just 24 seconds into the final period, but Andrei Svetlakov quickly restored Russia's lead.

Sebastian Aho leveled again midway through the period and the game looked up for the Russians, when Mikko Rantanen made it 3-2 on the powerplay with just over two minutes remaining.

In the final minute Russia pulled netminder Alexander Georgiev and were rewarded six seconds from the end of regulation as Svetlakov tucked home a rebound to make it 3-3.

The hosts roared forward in overtime and when Aleksi Saarela found Kapanen, he calmly eluded defenseman Sergei Boikov and circled the net to score on the wrap-around.
