The US seemed like the better team at the start, but Canada got better as it went on and was dominant early in the third. The US came with a big push late, got a goal and pressed hard for the equaliser but couldn't get it.
Shots on goal in the 3rd period (and game): USA 7 (24), Canada 7 (26).
Canada finishes 1st in the group, USA 2nd. Their quarterfinal opponents are still to be decided by the Switzerland-Finland game, which is in the 3rd period and you can follow it now on Eurolivescores.
Fans standing.
If they tie this game, they win the group, regardless of what might happen in OT.
Gillies stays on the bench, 6-on-5 for the faceoff to Furcale's right.
US 3-on-2, the pass across to STEFAN MATTEAU, his shot went off a stick, hit Fucale's glove and fell into the net. Assists: Hudson Fasching,
