Kakko produced a pair of chances at the doorstep in the final six minutes of regulation, but Ullmark parried aside both.Granlund came down and won it mere seconds after Kevin Lankinen stopped Adrian Kempe on the other end, his wrister beating Ullmark clean., snapping the puck in from the slot to open his account for the tournament, it was Finland that had the better of the early goings.
