Finland avoids upset vs. Switzerland, heads to men's hockey semis

Finland avoided a massive upset, rallying past Switzerland 3-2 in overtime during its quarterfinal game of the men's hockey tournament at the Milan Cortina Olympics on Wednesday.

Finnish defenseman Miro Heiskanen scored the equalizer with 1:12 remaining in the third period. Artturi Lehkonen cashed in the OT winner on a breakaway for the defending Olympic champions.

Sebastian Aho also scored for Finland.

Finnish goaltender Juuse Saros settled in after a rough start to make 21 saves.

Damien Riat and Nino Niederreiter found twine for Switzerland.

Finland will face top-seeded Canada in the semis if the Americans beat Sweden. If the Swedes upset the U.S., Finland would face Slovakia.
