UFA, 22 February 2018. /Bashinform News Agency, Natalia Ovcharuk/. On February 21, the men's teams of Canada and Finland met in the quarterfinals of the Olympics in South Korea. The outcome of the match was unclear until the very end. As a result, the Canadian team reached the semi-finals having beaten the Finns 1: 0. The Canadians scored a winning goal in the middle of the third period. But before that there was a moment in the game with participation of the goalkeeper of the HC Salavat Yulaev (Ufa) Ben Scrivens.

At the beginning of the second frame the goalkeeper was injured during a clash with the Finnish forward Veli-Matti. Then the net of the Canadian national team was defended by Kevin Poulain.
