Drew Doughty earned a spot on Canada's Olympic team because of his ability to move the puck, skate and hit hard. The Los Angeles defenseman is also providing Canada with a surprising offensive boost at the Sochi Games. Doughty broke a scoreless tie midway through the first period and scored the game-winning goal with 2:28 left in overtime, giving the Canadians a 2-1 win over Finland on Sunday. ''I don't know what's going on,'' said Doughty, who has four goals in three Olympic games after scoring just eight times in 59 NHL games this season.

Michael Grabner's goal-scoring spree in Sochi has propelled Austria to its first Olympic hockey win in 12 years.

Michael Raffl scored in the first period for Austria, which finished third in its group at 1-2. Austria and Norway both lost to powerful Canada and Finland, who met later in the day to decide the group winner.

With miserable memories of T.J. Oshie still fresh in their minds, the Russians were right back in another shootout. An unknown Slovak goalie had blanked their powerful offense for 65 minutes, and Russia was one Oshie-esque moment away from a second straight Olympic loss. Although Ilya Kovalchuk and Alexander Radulov were hobbled, they wouldn't let it happen. Semyon Varlamov stopped 27 shots, Radulov and Kovalchuk scored in the shootout, and Russia beat Slovakia 1-0 on Sunday, bouncing back from that shootout loss to the U.S. one day earlier.

Phil Kessel is the first American in more than a decade to score a hat trick in an Olympic hockey tournament. Kessel scored two of his three goals within the opening five minutes to lead the U.S. to a 5-1 win against Slovenia on Sunday. The U.S. is undefeated through three games and if it can win three more, the nation will celebrate its first Olympic championship in hockey since the ''Miracle on Ice'' at the Lake Placid Games. ''We just want to win games.'' No members of Team USA were alive when the U.S. beat the Soviet Union in 1980 in one of the biggest upsets in sports history.

Hit to head of Slovakia's Kopecky will be reviewed (Yahoo Sports)

A hit that knocked Slovakia forward Tomas Kopecky out of an Olympic hockey game will be reviewed for possible discipline. Slovenia defenseman Sabahudin Kovacevic landed his left elbow on Kopecky's head in the first period Saturday. Kopecky didn't return in a game the Slovenes went on to win 3-1. It might lead to Kovacevic being suspended for Sunday's game against the U.S. Kopecky was standing to the left of the opposing team's net, where he was cleared out of the way with an aggressive move that wasn't penalized by the on-ice officials.

Swedish hockey captain Henrik Zetterberg will miss the rest of the Sochi Games because of a herniated disk. ''What he's going through right now, it hurts just to watch him,'' Olympic and Detroit Red Wings teammate Niklas Kronwall said after a 1-0 win Friday over Switzerland. ''He goes through more than most people just to be able to play.'' Zetterberg played through pain and scored a goal in the Swedes' opening victory over the Czech Republic on Wednesday, but sat out of Thursday's practice because of his back injury. ''It is so painful for him that he can't be in it anymore,'' team doctor Bjorn Waldeback said.

Sweden isn't looking for sympathy. The short-handed Swedes beat Switzerland 1-0 on Friday, hours after they announced Henrik Zetterberg will miss the rest of the Sochi Olympics. The win came on Daniel Alfredsson's goal with 7:21 left and Henrik Lundqvist's 26-save shutout. ''We are among those teams who can win this tournament anyway,'' Sweden coach Par Marts said.

On the eve of his 42nd birthday, Jaromir Jagr again showed why age is a pretty small number to him. Jagr scored his second goal of the Olympics, Jakub Voracek got the tiebreaker in the second period, and the Czech Republic survived an early scare Friday for a 4-2 victory over Latvia in the men's hockey tournament. He got two goals in his first four periods in Sochi, and his steady play allowed the Czechs to hold off Latvia's upset bid. Jagr appeared to be the Czechs' best forward in their first victory in Sochi, buzzing around the ice and causing havoc with his timeless flair.
