Last time with 50+ saves against Canada was for Kristers Gudļevskis at 2014 Olympics (Latvia lost 2-1), that was short boost for his career, played few games at NHL regular season and Stanley Cup with Tampa.

Latvian goal played out of his mind. Stopped 54 shots and all 8 shots in the shootout.

Say it ain’t so- Team Canada loses to Latvia

Damn! And I was awake, but forgot to turn on live broadcast. Will rewatch full recording. Before the game I would have predicted 7-0 Canada win. Latvia is also younger team in the tournament, with bunch of even 16 years old players.
