MacKinnon Scores Twice as Canada Beats Austria 5-1 at Ice Hockey Worlds (Copy)
On May 15, 2025, Canada secured a 5-1 victory over Austria in a Group A game of the IIHF tournament held at Stockholm’s Avicii Arena.
Austria scored first with Vinzenz Rohrer’s breakaway goal, but Canada overcame the early deficit by outshooting Austria heavily and applying pressure.
Nathan MacKinnon led Canada’s comeback with two goals and one assist, supported by contributions from Sidney Crosby, Travis Konecny, Will Cuylle, and three assists from Brandon Montour.
MacKinnon tied the game early in the second period on a one-timer power-play goal and later scored again on a delayed penalty with an extra attacker on ice.
Canada remained undefeated with a 4-0 record and 12 points, tying co-host Sweden atop Group A, while Austria stayed at two points after four games.
