Finland claimed its fifth Ice Hockey World Championship title after defeating host nation Switzerland 1-0 in overtime in Zürich, with Konsta Helenius scoring the decisive goal nine minutes into the extra period. Neither side managed to score in regulation time despite numerous chances, and both teams struck the post and crossbar before Helenius settled the contest. Switzerland, which has never won the world title and has now lost three consecutive finals without scoring, will feel the heartbreak keenly, while Norway claimed bronze after beating Canada 3-2 earlier in the day.
