Team USA scored first when Justin Janicke (Maple Grove, Minn.) chased down a loose puck, charged the left wing and fed Devin Kaplan (Bridgewater, N.J.) a perfect pass for his ninth goal of the season at 3:07 of the first. 

Trine tied the game up halfway through the first period, but Ty Gallagher (Clarkston, Mich.) restored the U18s  lead on a power-play goal with under a minute left in the first. Ryan St. Louis (Riverside, Conn.) found Gallagher  with a cross-ice pass who ripped a wrist shot from the left faceoff circle. Aidan Hreschuk (Long Beach, Calif.) picked up the secondary assist, his first of three helpers on the night.

U17 call-up Charlie Stramel (Rosemount, Minn.) netted the lone goal  in the second period with a deflection off a Ty Murchison (Corona, Calif.) shot from the left point with under a minute remaining. Gallagher earned himself a multi-point night with an assist on the goal to make it 3-1. 

The U18s poured it on with five goals in the final frame. Liam Gilmartin (Falls Church, Va.) potted his fourth goal of the season on a power play when he tapped in a feed from St. Louis. Hreschuk picked up his second power-play point with an assist.

Stramel delivered his second score off a redirection as he tipped in a Kaplan shot at 10:55 of the third. Hreschuk was credited with his third assist on the score to make it 5-1.
