United States dominates Germany in first IIHF World Juniors pre-tournament game<\/p>\n
On Sunday night, the United States National Junior Team played against Germany in its first game of the IIHF World Juniors pre-tournament. It was an impressive offensive showing from the U.S., one that ended in an 8-0 win. <\/p>\n
While the contest remained scoreless for much of the opening period, the Americans struck with under a minute to play. James Hagens broke free before dishing it Will Horcoff who buried the slapshot to end the stalemate.<\/p>\n
30 seconds later, the U.S. went on the power play and capitalized. Will Zellers sent it right in front to Ryker Lee and he knocked it in to extend the lead.<\/p>\n
The Stars and Stripes didn\u2019t let up in the second, although there was a little role reversal. Ryker Lee weaved through the defense and then kicked to Will Zellers who fired it home to make it 3-0.<\/p>\n
The Americans added two more goals in the frame from Teddy Stiga and Will Horcoff, both of which came short-handed. In the third, the trio of Cole McKinney, Will Zellers and Brodie Ziemer tacked on another three tallies for the U.S. to seal the deal. <\/p>\n
Overall, the United States outshot Germany 49-24 to pick up its first win of the pre-tournament series. Additionally, Nick Kempf made 19 saves in net while Brady Knowling had five in the shutout. <\/p>\n
The U.S. next takes the ice at AMSOIL Arena to battle Finland on Tuesday. Puck drop is set for 6 p.m. <\/p>\n
