HARBIN, China -- Sarah Vaillancourt scored a pair of power-play goals and Hayley Wickenheiser had three assists to pace Canada to a 4-2 win over Finland. The win gives Canada a berth in the gold-medal game at the women's world hockey championship Wednesday.
But Finland's 1-0 overtime upset of the Americans the previous day put them in position to play for gold for the first time at the world championships.
If the Canadians beat the U.S. on Thursday (TSN, Wednesday midnight ET), they get a rematch with Finland in Saturday's championship game (TSN, 7 a.m. ET).
