    It seems Camara picked the penalty for high-sticking, Canada will now have a difficult job if they want to get anything out of this game.
     
    55:41
    Goal for Team USA!

    Unbeliveable save by gibbson! Nugent-Hopkins in the slot, he shot a one-timer and I don't know how Gibbson got his hand on this.

    44:03
    Goal for Team Canada!
    Very sloppy play by team USA, and Canada finnaly finds themselves on the board. It's being checked by the video referee. It's a goal, nothing strange there. TY RATTIE shot the puck, Gibson deflected but he picked up the rebound and put it in empty net. A shorthanded goal for Canada.

    Without assistance.

    Bench penalty to team Canada for too many men on the ice, 4-on-3 PP for the USA.

    USA dominates in the Canadian zone.
     
    23:39
    Huberdeau to Strome who's in front all by himself, but can't beat fanstastic Gibson today. Huge save!
     
    22:59
    Goal for Team USA!
    Unbeliveable but true. After Canada dominates on the ice, the USA are on a breakaway, JOHN GAUDREAU the scorer who took the puck in the middle of the ice and just as he got into the Canadian zone, he scores to give his team a comfortable lead over fierce rivals.


    Assists: Jake McCabe.
     
    20:52
    Nugent-Hopkins skates through the middle and from the top of the face-off circle shoots, but Gibbson saves.
     
    16:03
    Goal for Team USA!
    Another goal by JAKE MCCABE, completely deserved it. Team USA looks like the better team today. His team mates played the puck offensively, and McCabe was alone in the middle, safely puts it in.

    Assists: Vince Trocheck, Rocco Grimaldi.
     
    12:32
    Morgan Reilly took the puck behind his own net, skates towards the US goal, but shoots directly into Gibson for an easy save.

    08:27

    07:18

    JAKE MCCABE finds the way into the net. Subban was covered by a wall of players of both teams and McCabe was all alone, to score.
