Just before Mitch Marner decided with his 4-3 goal and got 21,105 spectators in Bell Centre to cheer at the top of their lungs, Mika Zibanejad could have silenced the crowd.
But home goalkeeper Jordan Binnington made a giant save.
If I get the puck up there a bit higher, maybe it goes in. It's a shame he has his stick there. Usually when they come over there, they use their stick and swing with it, says Zibanejad about the attempt to shoot between the pads.
But despite a lateral movement, the Canadian goalkeeper kept tight.
It's a shame it doesn't go in.
The center in the first line was low-key afterwards.
We take over after the bad start, but it's a shame we can't win this game, but we take a point with us, he says.
Sweden was chasing its first win against Canada in Canada in 41 years, Canada Cup 1984.
Instead, it became a frustrating overtime loss.
The Swedes were booed in the presentation before the game, but then scared the home crowd with their comeback.
Goalkeeper Filip Gustavsson made several sharp saves after the bad Swedish start and 0-2 deficit.
He saved a point for Sweden with a cannon save on Devon Toews' giant opportunity in the third period.
But he had trouble being happy about it and his performance.
Approved, he says about his performance.
We didn't win, after all.
