The other Day 2 games were overshadowed by Canada's lackluster, lifeless showing against Latvia in a shootout loss.

Caden Price (Montreal Canadiens) is a “Swiss Army knife” defender who can move the puck well, help set up plays and be a strong defensive stopper. Andrew Gibson (Nashville Predators), who at 6-foot-4, can easily manipulate opponents with his deceptive playmaking while using his strong frame to keep opponents off the puck while he looks for a play.

Eriks Mateiko scored the only goal of the shootout as Latvia stunned an alarmingly uninspired Canada 3-2 at the world junior hockey championship Friday. The forward moved in on his country's eighth effort before firing home a goal to register one of the biggest upsets in tournament history.

In what will likely go down as the biggest single-game upset in tournament history, Team Latvia defeated Team Canada by a 3-2 final score in a shootout thriller at the 2025 IIHF World Junior Championship on Friday night.
