Canada Juniors 6 - 0 - 1 After Seven Games

The goal of winning every game of the Super Series is gone for Canada's junior hockey team, but going undefeated is still a possibility.

Canada pulled out a 4-4 tie against Russia on Friday in Game 7 in a see-saw battle in which the hosts twice had to come from behind to get the point and sit 6-0-1 heading into Sunday's final game in Vancouver (Sportsnet, 8 p.m. ET).

''We've got one game left. We've got to make sure we win it,'' said forward Brandon Sutter, who briefly gave Canada a 3-2 lead in the second period before Russia countered with a pair of goals.

Sam Gagner of the London Knights salvaged the tie with a power-play goal early in the third period for his sixth of the series.

Kyle Turris of the University of Wisconsin and Logan Pyett of the Regina Pats also scored for Canada. John Tavares of the Oshawa Generals had two assists.

Vyatcheslav Voinov, Evgeni Bodrov, Maxim Mamin and Alexander Vasyunov replied for the Russians for the most goals they have scored in a game this series.
