Canada win ice hockey world cup

Canada have beaten a combined Europe team 2-1 in the second game of a best-of-three finals series to win the ice hockey world cup 2-0.

Brad Marchand scored a short-handed goal with 43.1 seconds left and Canada beat Team Europe 2-1 on Thursday night (Friday AEST) to win the ice hockey world cup.

The Canadians won the best-of-three finals 2-0.

Patrice Bergeron tied it with a power-play goal with 2:53 left in the third, and Marchand won it with a shot from the slot.

Canada have won 16 successive games, including two Olympic gold medals, since losing to the US in the 2010 Olympics.

Carey Prince made 32 saves for the Canadians, who started slowly before ending the tournament with a furious rally that fired up a once-quiet crowd.

Zdeno Chara scored early for Europe, and Jaroslav Halak made 32 saves for the eight-nation team.

Sidney Crosby was named MVP of the tournament with three goals and a World Cup-high 10 points.
