In a shocking upset, Norway defeated Canada 3-2 in a shootout at the men's World Championships on Monday.

The victory is Norway's second win ever against Canada at the Worlds, with the first coming in 2000. Norway's roster has no active NHL players.

Thomas Olsen scored the decisive goal in the shootout for Norway.

Andreas Martinsen - a veteran of 152 NHL games across stints with the Colorado Avalanche, Montreal Canadiens, and Chicago Blackhawks - put Norway on the board first at 9:45 of the opening period. Former Toronto Maple Leafs prospect Sondre Olden extended Norway's lead 1:52 into the second frame.

Milan Lucic drew Canada back within one before the midway mark of the contest. With 12 seconds remaining in regulation, Lawson Crouse tied the game on a feed from Michael Carcone to send the game to overtime.

Joel Hofer got his second start of the tournament for Canada, allowing four goals on five attempts in the shootout. Norway's Jonas Arntzen stopped 31 of 33 shots and denied two of four shootout attempts.

Projected 2023 No. 2 overall pick Adam Fantilli received a match penalty in the second period for illegal head contact.

Both teams had gone to one shootout in the tournament prior to Monday. Norway lost against Kazakhstan, while Canada survived an upset bid from Slovakia.

The winner of the Canada and Czechia matchup Tuesday will finish second in Group B. Norway can't advance to the quarterfinals.
