    Buffalo Sabres defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen scored at 9:42 of overtime to give Finland its third world junior hockey title, 3-2 over Sweden on Sunday.

    Ristolainen picked up the puck along the right boards, beat defenseman Robert Hagg as he cut in front of the goal and slid a backhander under goalie Oscar Dansk's right leg pad.

    "I saw that they played man-on-man defense in their own end," said Ristolainen, who has one goal in 19 games this season for Buffalo. "It was empty in front of the net. I just skated there. I tried just to put the puck somewhere hard and it went in."
