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
How has this not gone in! The goal shakes with the number of bodied in front of the net, but Canada can’t force the touch to beat Hellebuyck.
Another furious passage – but we are still searching for the go-ahead goal!

USA 1-1 Canada
Two close calls, one at either end, in a minute! First, Canada’s Nathan MacKinnon brushed the side of the net from close range. Then, the USA had an opportunity in front of a packed goal, but Canada scrambled it away.

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.
