Andrew Mangiapane scored a highlight-reel goal in overtime as Canada beat Russia 2-1 in quarterfinal action at the world hockey championship on Thursday.
The Calgary Flames forward's goal, on a pass from Troy Stecher, 2:12 into the extra frame gave Canada the upset victory.
After taking a drop pass from Mangiapane, Stecher eluded two Russian defenders and made a cross-ice feed back to his teammate for the winner.
"I pulled off a move like that in practice yesterday and (assistant general manager) Shane Doan kind of gave me a hard time about not doing it in a game," Stecher said. "I think my instincts took over and I was able to find (Mangiapane), and it all just kind of worked out. I feel like I have started to play with a lot of confidence in this tournament, confidence I did not necessarily have during the NHL regular season. It has been paying off for me and it certainly paid off in overtime."
Canada will face the U.S. in a semifinal on Saturday. Finland plays Germany in the other semi. The final is Sunday.

After losing its first three games of the tournament, Canada won its next three before losing in a shootout to Finland to secure the fourth and final playoff spot in its group.
Canada barely avoided missing the playoffs for the first time at an Olympics or world championship.
Russia, meanwhile, won six of seven games in the preliminary round to finish first in the other group.
"It was an all-around great effort by our team tonight," Mangiapane said. "I think everyone in our room believed we could (win). We know our game has been trending in the right direction and it was great for us to battle back in the third period to get the win."
Mangiapane has five goals and four assists in five games.
Adam Henrique scored the tying goal on a power play for Canada in the third period. Yevgeni Timkin opened the scoring for Russia.
Darcy Kuemper blocked 24 shots for Canada, while Sergei Bobrovsky made 23 saves for Russia.
"I am really proud of our group," coach Gerard Gallant said. "It was tough coming over to Latvia because we had a few days of quarantine and then only three days of practice before we started the tournament. It took us a little while to find our game, but our team found a way and battled hard through our seven preliminary-round games. It was rewarding to see our group work as hard as it did, and tonight was a huge win for us."
In the other quarterfinals, Germany beat Switzerland 3-2 in a shootout, the U.S. beat Slovakia 6-1 and Finland edged the Czech Republic 1-0.
