Canada's epic comeback bid fell short Sunday, as Norway won 3-2 in overtime to capture bronze at the IIHF World Championship.

Canada trailed 2-0 for majority of the contest but rallied with two goals from Robert Thomas in the final minutes to send the game to overtime. Thomas' final goal came with less than 10 seconds left in the third period. However, Noah Steen bagged the winner for Norway in overtime to capture bronze.

Canada hasn't medaled at the Worlds in three straight years.

More to come.
