FRIBOURG, SUI \u2013 A ‘Bouch-hard-earned’ victory for the Red & White in Switzerland.<\/p>\n
Evan\u00a0Bouchard notched three assists, including the helper on Mark Scheifele’s hat-trick winner 29 seconds into overtime, while Darnell Nurse also had an assist for Canada on Thursday at BCF Arena in a wild 6-5 victory over Norway at the 2026\u00a0IIHF World Championship.<\/p>\n
The Red & White trailed 2-0, 3-2 and 5-4 during regulation\u00a0and needed\u00a0a late equalizer from Ryan O’Reilly with 1:39 left in the third period that was assisted by Bouchard to get the game to overtime, where the Oilers\u00a0defenceman found\u00a0Scheifele at the back door to complete his hat-trick and the 6-5 victory less than half a minute into sudden death.<\/p>\n
Bouchard led Canada with 26:55 total ice time \u2013 over five minutes more than the next closest teammate in Sidney\u00a0Crosby at 20:24 \u2013 thanks to five power-play opportunities against Norway that saw the 26-year-old pick up an assist on Gabe Vilardi’s tally that tied it up at 3-3 with under 12 minutes gone in the middle frame.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"FRIBOURG, SUI \u2013 A ‘Bouch-hard-earned’ victory for the Red & White in Switzerland.
