Tuomas Uronen scored at 1:46 of overtime to give Finland a 4-3 victory over the United States on Sunday in the world junior hockey championship.

Uronen, who plays for the Kingston Frontenacs in the Ontario Hockey League, came down the right side on a rush and beat goalie Trey Augustine high to the glove side.

The defending champion Americans lost for the first time in three games. They’ll finish Group A play Tuesday night against Canada, with the Canadians set to face Germany later Sunday at Canadian Tire Centre. Finland has won two straight after an opening loss to Canada.

Jesse Kiiskinen, Julius Miettinen and Arttu Alasiurua also scored for Finland, and Petteri Rimpinen made 41 saves.

Carey Terrance of the Erie Otters of the OHL, Cole Hutson of Boston University and Brody Ziemer of Minnesota scored for the United States. Augustine, from Michigan State, stopped 29 shots.

In Group B at TD Place, Tom Willander had two goals and assist and Sweden beat Switzerland 7-5 to improve to 3-0 and wrap up a quarterfinal spot.

RB Cabana flips from Gophers to W. Michigan

Michigan transfer running back Cole Cabana is no longer coming to the Gophers.

The former four-star high school recruit planned to leave the Wolverines for Minnesota earlier this month and announced he was partnering with the U’s NIL collective, Dinkytown Athletes, an indication he had signed an agreement to attend the U.

Instead, Cabana is headed to Western Michigan, according to multiple reports Sunday. The Dexter, Mich., native had only two carries in his two seasons with the Wolverines and likely will get a better shot to play with the Broncos in the Mid-American Conference.

Minnesota has still added two running backs via the NCAA transfer portal in December: A.J. Turner (Marshall) and Cam Davis (Washington). That pair will compete with starting tailback Darius Taylor in 2025.

The Gophers now have 14 transfers set for 2025. Last year, a number of players backed out of commitments to Minnesota during the re-recruiting process, but Cabana is the first to change his mind this cycle.

Djokovic: Players ‘in the dark’ on dope cases

On the eve of his return to the court, Novak Djokovic has weighed in on tennis’s high-profile doping cases and criticized what he perceives as double standards in the sport.

The former world No. 1, who is chasing a record 25th Grand Slam title at next month’s Australian Open, expressed his frustration at being “kept in the dark” regarding top-ranked Jannik Sinner’s doping case.

“I’m not questioning whether (Sinner) took the banned substance intentionally or not,” Djokovic said at a news conference Sunday in Brisbane.

“Some players with lower rankings waiting for their case to be resolved for over a year. I’ve been really frustrated … to see we’ve been kept in the dark for at least five months ( on the Sinner case ).”

The International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) charged both Sinner and former women’s world No.1 Iga Swiatek with anti-doping breaches earlier in the year.
