Team USA is playing better than they’re seeded. After Germany, Finland got beaten by the Americans. Finland had a good start and was leading until the 20th minute of the game. Lee Sweatt’s equalizer at 20:02 turned the game in favor of the United States team.
After a strong third period, the Americans were in lead, 5-3, and Kyle Gouge made it 6-3 with his second goal. Also Thomas Bruce scored twice for the USA. The Finns tried to catch up in the last period but USA netminder Jamie Bufalino shut the door to seal the win.
