Both teams exchanged scoring opportunities throughout the opening frame, but neither team was able to gain the advantage.

Canada Red got on the board 1:34 into the second period with a breakaway goal before doubling their lead a minute and a half later. They struck again at 7:56 and 9:37 into the period, taking the lead 4-0.

Powell scored with 2:03 remaining in the middle frame with the help of Brett Berard (E. Greenwich, R.I.) and Jacob Truscott (Fort Gratiot, Mich.), before Canada Red responded soon after, giving them a 5-1 lead entering the second intermission.

Dzhaniyev scored with 6:09 to go off feeds from Chase Yoder (Fairview, Texas) and Dylan Peterson (Roseville, Calif.), but Team USA was unable to even the score in the final minutes accounting for the 5-2 final.
