The Fins opened with a 4-1 loss to Slovakia before rebounding with a 4-1 victory over Sweden and an 11-0 rout of Italy.

MILAN (AP) — Three of hockey’s international powerhouses are in the semifinals at the Milan Cortina Olympics after getting a scare at the start of the knockout round. The United States, Canada and Finland all won in overtime in the quarterfinals to move one victory away from playing for the gold medal.

The men's hockey semifinals are set. Here's a look at both of Friday's matchups, with Canada facing Finland and the U.S. facing Slovakia.

After a shocking opening loss, Finland's men's Olympic hockey team has shown incredible resilience and depth, making them strong contenders for a gold medal.

Miro Heiskanen tied it with 72 seconds left, Artturi Lehkonen scored in overtime and Finland escaped with a 3-2 victory. Heiskanen’s shot banked in off Switzerland defenseman Jonas Siegenthaler’s stick and past goaltender Leonardo Genoni.

Reigning Olympic champions Finland made a remarkable comeback to beat Switzerland 3-2 in overtime and reach the men's ice hockey semi-finals at Milano Rho Arena on Wednesday, with Artturi Lehkonen netting the winner.

Rasmus Dahlin scored a power-play goal and Gustavsson made 20 saves for Sweden (1-0-1-0), which lost a preliminary round game involving NHL players for the first time in eight outings, dating to a 3-0 loss to Slovakia in Turin 20 years ago. Sweden defeated Finland in the gold-medal game a week later.

Artturi Lehkonen added another defining goal to his growing legacy, scoring on a breakaway in overtime to cap Finland’s dramatic comeback and send them into the Olympic semifinals.
