Canada’s Dylan Cozens (22) celebrates with teammates, from left to right, Alexis Lafreniere, Joe Veleno, Barrett Hayton and Calen Addison after scoring the first goal against Russia during second-period action in the gold medal game at the World Junior Hockey Championships in Ostrava, Czech Republic on Sunday.

Penguins defensive prospect Calen Addison recorded three assists for Canada in a 4-3 comeback victory against Russia in the gold-medal game of the IIHF World Junior Championship tournament at the Ostravar Arena in Ostrava, Czech Republic, on Sunday.

Canada rallied from a 3-1 deficit in the third period. Addison’s second assist was the primary helper on a tying power-play goal by forward Barrett Hayton at 51 minutes, 21 seconds of third period.

His third assist was a secondary helper on forward Akil Thomas’ winning score at 56:02 of the third.

Addison, a second-round pick by the Penguins’ in 2018, appeared in seven games during the tournament and recorded nine points (one goal, eight assists). He was the only Penguins prospect to participate in the tournament.

Sweden edged Finland, 3-2, in the bronze medal game.
