In my opinion, this game is decided. A shot from the blue line by MATT HUNWICK ended behind Masalskis. Latvian goalie did not have a clear view and could not react to. Assisted by Stastny.
Masalskis showed a great reflex after a projectile from the blue line by Johnson, Stapleton tipped the puck in with his leg but against BOBBY BUTLER´s quick rebound was short. A power-play goal for Team USA! Assisted by Stapleton, Johnson.
DAVID MOSS applied his strength and rebounded the puck after a shot from Paul Stastny. Assisted by Stastny.
TIM STAPLETON oriented himself fastest in the mess in front of Latvian net and Americans needed only 1 minute to make the score tied again! Assisted by Butler.
Sprukts passed from the corner to the middle where ARTURS KULDA fired from the first and beat Bishop! Assisted by Sprukts, Darzins.
