Canada vs. Latvia final score, results from 2026 World Juniors hockey game: Canada avoids upset, beats Latvia on Michael Hage overtime goal
Latvia upset Canada in the 2025 edition of the tournament and came close this time. But, it was Canada who advanced to 2-0.
Day 2 at the 2026 World Juniors was another busy four-game slate that included a couple of tighter-than-expected games for Canada and USA.

Canada took advantage on a 4-on-3 power play in overtime. The Canadians put Reschny on the ice to win an offensive zone faceoff. He did — Reschny went 9-4 in the dot to lead Canada — and the puck moved around the zone until McKenna hit Hage for a one-timer.
