    The United States scored with eight minutes gone in the first period. Portland Winterhawks forward PAUL BITTNER put the puck in the net for the U.S. just as a penalty expired for the away side. We sincerely apologise for the lack of updates during the first ten minutes, due to technical difficulties.
