"I'm proud of our guys' effort tonight in spite of not getting the result we came for," Seth Appert, head coach of the U.S. National Under-17 Team, said. "Our penalty kill and goaltending did a great job keeping them at bay. As disappointing as it is, we get the opportunity to play for our country tomorrow."

Peterson put Team USA ahead at the 7:19 mark of the first period when he buried a backhand feed from behind the net by Chase Yoder (Fairview, Texas). Ty Smilanic (Elizabeth, Colo.) picked up a secondary assist on the play for his third point of the tournament.

U17s goaltender Drew Commesso (Norwell, Mass.) delivered a plethora of important stops to preserve Team USA's 1-0 lead through the midway mark of the second period, which included a sequence of three saves in a matter of seconds on a rush for Canada Red.

Matthew Maggio tied the game for Canada Red on a power-play goal with 5:28 to play in the second.

Elliot Desnoyers delivered the overtime winner for Canada Red 4:34 into the extra frame.

Commesso stopped 32 of 34 shots in total.

Team USA will return to the ice for a placement game Friday (Nov. 9) at the qplex in Quispamsis vs the Czech Republic at noon AT/ 11 a.m. ET.
