SOCHI, Russia — Teemu Selanne scored two goals and Tuukka Rask had a 26-save shutout, helping Finland rout the United States 5-0 Feb. 22 to win hockey bronze at the Sochi Olympic Games.
Selanne, a 43-year-old, six-time Olympian, and Jussi Jokinen scored 11 seconds apart early in the second period. The Finns scored three goals in the third period against a team that looked like it would rather be at home.
Before the third-place match became a rout in the final period, it was a game of missed opportunities for the Americans. Patrick Kane couldn’t convert on a penalty shot in each of the first two periods for the U.S.
