U.S. National Under-18 Team Rolls Past Muskegon, 10-3
Grimaldi Amasses Five Total Points; Fourteen Players Tally At Least One Point
ANN ARBOR, Mich. - Rocco Grimaldi (Rossmoor, Calif.) scored once and added four assists as the U.S. National Under-18 Team toppled the Muskegon Lumberjacks, 10-3, here tonight at the Ann Arbor Ice Cube.
Team USA opened the scoring 4:46 into the first period when Reid Boucher (Grand Ledge, Mich.) took Grimaldi's pass from the right sideboards and netted the game's first goal.
Muskegon answered with a power play tally to even the score at one goal apiece. But the U.S. came back with goals from Travis Boyd (Hopkins, Minn.) and Blake Pietila (Brighton, Mich.), giving Team USA the 2-1 lead.
The Lumberjacks scored at 13:43 in the second frame to pull within one goal. But for the second game in a row, Team USA scored a short-handed marker. After a booming Muskegon shot on U.S. goaltender Matt McNeely (Burnsville, Minn.), the rebound caromed to Grimaldi who found a streaking Cole Bardreau (Fairport, N.Y.) near center ice. Bardreau skated in alone and wristed the shot into the back of the net, putting the U.S. up 4-2 heading into the third period.
The U.S. kept the pressure on the Lumberjacks as the third period began, when Grimaldi and Max Everson (Edina, Minn.) scored less than four minutes apart. Muskegon would add another tally, but Team USA scored four unanswered goals to close out the game and win, 10-3.
McNeely and John Gibson (Pittsburgh, Pa.) combined to make 27 saves for Team USA in the win, while Joel Vienneau and Paul Berrafato made 32 saves for Muskegon in the loss.
The U.S. National Under-18 Team will travel down the road for a Tuesday (Oct. 12) night tilt against the University of Michigan at Yost Ice Arena in Ann Arbor. Puck drop is set for 7:35 ET.
NOTES: Team USA went 5-for-11 on the power play while Muskegon was 2-for-15 with the man advantage ... Team USA outshot Muskegon 42-30 ... Rocco Grimaldi netted five points (1-4) tonight, adding to his team-leading point total of seven (3-4) ... Cole Bardreau gave Team USA their second short-handed goal in as many games ... Mario Lucia (Plymouth, MInn.) scored his first points with the National Team Development Program tonight, scoring back-to-back power play goals in the third period ... Max Everson also tallied his first points (1-1) in a Team USA jersey tonight ... Muskegon defensemen Alex Privitera (Old Tappan, N.J./2006-09) previously played for the NTDP.

U.S. National Under-17 Team Upends Chicago, 3-1
Shore Tallies Game Winner; Rutledge Stops 35 Shots
ANN ARBOR, Mich. - Quentin Shore (Denver, Colo.) scored the game-winning goal and Jared Rutledge (Skokie, Ill.) made 35 saves as the U.S. National Under-17 Team skated to a 3-1 victory over the Chicago Steel here today at the Ann Arbor Ice Cube.
Team USA found the scoresheet first when Ben Johnson (Calumet, Mich.) redirected a booming slapshot by Seth Jones (Plano, Texas), finding the back of the net. Jones and Matt Grzelcyk (Charlestown, Mass.) collected assists on the play.
Shore put the U.S. up 2-0 at 10:24 of the second period, on a pass from Kyle Osterberg (Lakeville, Minn.). With two defenders to beat, Osterberg split the defense and found an open Shore, who one-timed the pass past Steel goaltender Adam Miller.
Thomas Di Pauli (Woodridge, Ill.) added a goal to give Team USA a 3-0 edge heading into the final frame.
Chicago came out shooting in the third period, peppering the U.S. goal with 17 shots. But Rutledge stood tall and made 16 saves preserving the victory for Team USA, 3-1.

From http://www.nascar.com
FONTANA, Calif. -- Tony Stewart still needs help to catch Sprint Cup Series points leader Jimmie Johnson, but he jump-started his climb back into contention for the series championship Sunday at Auto Club Speedway.
Stewart beat resilient Clint Bowyer to the finish line by .466 seconds in Sunday's Pepsi Max 400 to win his first race at the 2-mile track, his second of the year and the 39th of his career.
In sharp contrast to Stewart's victory, which left him 107 points behind third-place finisher and Chase leader Jimmie Johnson, a handful of Chase drivers took big hits in the championship battle.
Down for the count are Kyle Busch and Greg Biffle, both of whom suffered blown engines. An ignition rotor failure KO'd Carl Edwards, and a late-race wreck with David Ragan all but dashed Kurt Busch's chances for a second title.
Johnson, on the other hand, leaves his home track 36 points ahead of second-place Denny Hamlin, who came home eighth Sunday. With the Chase field spreading out four races into the series' postseason, only Hamlin, Kevin Harvick (54 points back) and Jeff Gordon (85 back) are within 100 points of the four-time defending champion with six races left.
Non-Chasers Kasey Kahne, Ryan Newman and Mark Martin finished fourth, fifth and sixth, respectively. Harvick came home seventh, followed by Hamlin, Gordon and David Reutimann.
It was a disastrous day for Roush Fenway Racing, which got a team-best finish of 30th from Matt Kenseth. Biffle's engine exploded on Lap 40, relegating him to a 41st-place result.
On a restart 18 laps later, Edwards developed his ignition problem and lost 14 laps while his crew repaired his No. 99 Ford. Edwards finished 34th and, like Biffle, sustained a crushing blow to his championship hopes.
Likewise, Kyle Busch saw his title aspirations disappear in smoke when his engine blew on Lap 154. He finished 35th.
Gordon also took a hit in the points after being flagged for speeding on pit road during stops under caution on Lap 156. He rallied for a ninth-place finish but still lost significant ground to Johnson.
In sweeping the top three positions, Chevrolet won its 34th manufacturers' championship in the Cup Series.
