After winning a face-off, Backstrom crashed the net (where good things happen) and knocked a rebound home past Jaroslav Halak. It’s Backstrom’s second goal of the tournament.

This weird Swedish dude was also very happy.

Team Europe won in overtime 3-2 and will face Canada in the World Cup of Hockey finals.
