SOCHI, Russia — The Finnish Flash, Teemu Selanne, ended his sixth Olympics with a sweet victory.

Selanne scored two goals and Tuukka Rask had a 27-save shutout, helping Finland rout the United States, 5-0, on Saturday to win the bronze medal in men’s hockey at the Sochi Games. Selanne and Jussi Jokinen scored 11 seconds apart early in the second period, and the Finns had three goals in the third.

The Finnish forward Mikael Granlund, 21, said he was thrilled that Selanne, his idol, had capped his Olympic career with a victory. “He’s 43 years old and can still play at this level,” Granlund said. “You can’t understand how important he is for Finland.”

Finland has won four medals in the last five Olympics, more than any other nation in the N.H.L. era.

Before the match became a rout in the final period, it was a game of missed opportunities for the Americans.
