POWER PLAY! USA 1-1 Canada

Macklin Celebrini thinks he has scored after the pull-back, but it’s cleared! Nathan MacKinnon then goes close and Celebrini can’t get the rebound.

So USA survive as well. We’re back to 5-on-5.

USA 1-1 Canada

Chance! A huge opening for the 19-year-old Canada star Macklin Celebrini as he races through on goal – but once again Hellebuyck stands tall and strong to deny him.

Canada have now had more than twice as many shots as the USA, 35 to 17.

USA 1-1 Canada

Close! Almost a goal for Canada in the opening minute! It was right there for Devon Towes, the net wide open. But he was denied by Connor Hellebuyck, who may be the player of the match if USA wins this.
