    Goal for Team Canada!

    Relentless forechecking by Canada and they've got their fourth. It's BRENDAN LEMIEUX who is jogging on the spot at the back door, and Nedeljkovic is able to make the first save but Lemieux pots the rebound.

    Goal for Team Canada!

    That's pretty much game, set and match for Canada now. The puck is deflected back out to the point, and AARON EKBLAD lets rip with an absolute howitzer of a one timer which goes off the crossbar and in.

    Goal for Team Canada!

    They were getting the momentum in the second period, and now Canada have a commanding lead over the U.S. It's JAYCE HAWRYLUK who gets the shot which goes five hole on Nedeljkovic.
     
    31:01
    A giveaway by Nardella in his own zone gives Canada a great opportunity. Robby Fabbri gets the wrist shot from close range which Nedeljkovic shoulders away
     
    25:28
    Billia shines once again. Ryan Wagner pounces on the turnover in the neutral zone, breaks into the zone and moves to the left circle. He fires a wrister destined for the top corner, but Billia flashes the leather to make the save

    Great pressure by the U.S. Wolff has another shot which is saved by Billia.
