The United States and Sweden went toe-to-toe in the final game of the 2021 IIHF World Junior Championship preliminary round with quarterfinal positioning on the line.And just before the clock hit midnight on the East Coast, Team Radko Gudas Jersey USAskated away with a 4-0 win.The Americans opened the scoring just 1:09 into the game as Drew Helleson fired the puck towardthe net from the corner and below the goal line. Just over two minutes later it was Trevor Zegras with the goal from a weird angle as he fired it on net from the left half board and the pucksailed over the shoulder of Hugo Alnefelt. Team USA added two more goals in the second period, one by Ryan Johnson his first of the tourney off a beautiful set pay off a faceoff win deep in the Swedish zone and another by Alex Turcotte also his first. That final goal chased Alnefelt from the net."It went great but I think it surprised us a little bit, I think it surprised us all," said head coach Nate Leaman. "Got a bounce on that first one, and then Trevor just made a great play on that second goal and I think it surprised us a little bit. I think Alexander Alexeyev Kids Jersey it rattled them a little bitand I thought we had a good first. But the second I thought we got a little loose. In the third period, we reeled it back in. . . . So that was a good win for us, it was a win that we needed and we found a way to get it done.""I think the start first was huge tonight.I thought it really got our whole group going," noted team captainCam York. "But at the end of the day, our focusis winning a gold medal. Today was a big step in that direction. But we've got to take it game by game . . . and the quick start was huge for us and we need to continue doing that down Taylor Chorney Women Jersey the stretch here."With his goaland helpers on both middle-frame tallies, Zegras is now tied for third all time on the USA's World Juniors career points list with current NHLer James van Riemsdyk (22points).

After giving up four goals on 12 shots against Ru sia, Knight has now backstopped the U.S. to consecutive shutout wins the first American goalie to accomplish the feat. He stopped 27 of 27 on New Years Eve, including a big pad stop on a wraparound attempt in the second period."He's always been really mentally tough," Zegras said."Whenever he comes off a tough game, he always seems to rebound, and I think if we want to be a really succe sful Lucas Johansen Jersey team here we need him to be really good for us every night, and two shutouts in a row, hopefully, that boosts his confidence and gets him ready for the quarterfinals."Between Knight and Dustin Wolf, the American netmindershave not allowed a goal in 206:35, setting a record that was established in 2015 by the gold medal-winning squad (205:45).
