Hutson got the scoring started early as the BU commits combined to put Team USA up 1-0 less than five minutes in. In a quick turnaround from the defensive zone, Bednarik pushed the puck up to Eiserman running the left wing. He sauced a perfect pass to Hutson, who roofed his wrister off the rush for a lead at 4:25.

Eiserman added a pair of scores before the close of the opening period to put the U18s up 3-0 after 20 minutes. He connected at 7:47 off of feeds from Bednarik and John Whipple (Minnetonka, Minn.). He got his second just after the expiration of a Team USA power play late in the frame. James Hagens (Hauppauge, N.Y.) set up Eiserman for the first shot which went wide. Max Plante (Hermantown, Minn.) corralled the puck in the corner and a slid a back-door feed for Eiserman's patented one-timer from the right circle. 

Hutson added his second score on a U.S. power play early in the middle period. After a failed Terriers clearing attempt, Brodie Ziemer (Hutchinson, Minn.) quickly got the puck to Plante in the slot. He gave the extra pass to Hutson, who picked the top corner for a 4-0 lead. 

Less than a minute later, Kristian Epperson (Mequon, Wis.) put his name on the scoresheet when he cleaned up a Christian Humphreys (Pittsburgh, Pa.) rebound untouched in the slot.

Team USA made it six in a row as Eiserman found Plante on the doorstep for a tap-in score just past the midway mark of the game. Bednarik collected his third assist of the night on the score after an aggressive forecheck from the entire forward line.
