    57:52
    Goal for Team Slovakia!
    This Slovak line strikes again, as Griger with the pass out front to MARTIN REWAY, who backhands it through the pads of Gillies. It's too late to make a difference in the outcome, but they'll feel a bit better. Assist: David Griger.
     
    56:34
    Goal for Team USA!
    RILEY BARBER takes a nice feed from Copp, out of the reach of a Slovak defenceman, and fires it low glove side for the 6th US goal. Assists: Andrew Copp, Nicolas Kerdiles.
     
    54:15
    Goal for Team USA!
    The pressure continued and that might put this game away. Copp fed STEFAN MATTEAU in front from down low and he fired a beautiful wrister under the crossbar. Assists: Andrew Copp, Hudson Fasching.
     
    49:33
    Goal for Team USA!
    Against the flow of play, the Americans get some breathing room. Carrick's shot went wide and then took a funny bounce off the end boards that went right to MATT GRZELCYK in front, he put it in with Sabol going the wrong way. Assists: Connor Carrick, Tomas DiPauli.
     
    32:57
    Goal for Team Slovakia!
    One-goal game now, as Kolena knocked the puck out of skates and got a shot on goal, but MARTIN REWAY had a couple of whacks at the rebound and finally put it in. Power-play goal. Assists: Milan Kolena, David Griger.
     
    31:04
    Goal for Team Slovakia!
    The Slovaks finally cash in on the power play, Cehlarik with the initial shot and captain MILAN KOLENA was in front for the rebound. Power-play goal. Assist: Peter Cehlarik
     
    24:22
    Goal for Team USA!
    I was just about ready to say that the Americans didn't get much going on that power play, but they got it together in the late going and score with :05 left. Butcher dropped to RYAN HARTMAN, who fired a one-time slapper high stick side. Power-play goal. Assists: Will Butcher, Jack Eichel.
     
    19:59
    Goal for Team USA!
    The Americans with all sorts of pressure on the power play again and the Slovaks were just hoping to get to the horn with out another goal against, but DANIEL O'REAGAN put in a rebound at the side of the net with less than a second remaining. Another power-play goal. Assists: Matt Grzelcyk, Nicolas Kerdiles.
     
    16:53
    Goal for Team USA!
    Ryan Hartman led a rush down the right wing passed into the slot and JACK EICHEL fired it low stick side on Sabol to open the scoring. Power-play goal. Assists: Ryan Hartman, Will Butcher.
