Goaltender Jussi Olkinuora has been fantastic between the pipes as Finland will play for yet another gold medal at the IIHF Worlds. • The 31-year old netminder has backstopped Finland to seven straight wins, including four shutouts as they finished atop Group B in the preliminary round. • Olkinuora boasts a sparkling 0.965 save percentage and 0.86 goals-against-average, the best numbers of any goaltender through the entire tournament. • Finnish captain Valtteri Filppula spoke highly of his goaltender after their semifinal win over the United States: "Finland has always been lucky to have really good goaltending and he's no different. He's been great and given us a chance to win every night." • Olkinuora and Finland will have a chance to avenge their overtime loss against Canada in the gold medal game at last year's tournament, as the two nations will meet again in the final game. • Will Finland win the 2022 IIHF World Championships? • #IIHFWorlds #Hockey #2022IIHFWorlds
