AP - Sami Lepisto’s goal at 3:59 of overtime led Finland to a 3-2 win over the U.S. on Wednesday night in the world hockey quarterfinals, as reported by the Associated Press.

Lepisto took a pass from Saku Koivu at the point and fired the puck through a crowd and underneath U.S. goalie Robert Esche for the victory.

“It’s hard to lose like this, especially the way we played the third period,” U.S. Coach John Tortorella said. “We lost a tied faceoff. Really, we won it, but we didn’t come up with the loose puck, and it ends up going in the net.” [READ]
