U.S. National Junior Team Wins the Bronze Medal at the IIHF World Junior Championship with 4-2 Victory over Sweden
Kreider Scores Twice as Team USA Finishes Tournament 4-1-0-1
BUFFALO, N.Y. - Chris Kreider (Boxford, Mass./Boston College) scored twice and Kyle Palmieri (Montvale, N.J./Syracuse Crunch) logged two assists, as the U.S. National Junior Team captured the bronze medal at the International Ice Hockey Federation World Junior Championship with a 4-2 win over Sweden here this afternoon.
Team USA finished the tournament with a 4-1-0-1 (W-OTW-OTL-L) record and earned consecutive medals for the first time in tournament history, having won the gold medal last year in Regina and Saskatoon, Sask. This year's bronze medal marked the seventh medal in U.S. National Junior Team history, and fourth in the last eight years.
"It was an honor to be behind the bench for the United States," said Keith Allain, head coach of the U.S. National Junior Team. "Our guys played with a lot of pride tonight, and they really came together over the last few weeks to represent their country."
Sweden scored the game's first goal 12 minutes into the second period, but Team USA responded less than two minutes later. Chris Brown (Flower Mound, Texas/Univ. of Michigan) received the puck behind Sweden's net and fed Kreider in the slot, who fired a shot low past the left pad of Sweden goalie Fredrik Petersson Wentzel.
Team USA took its first lead of the game just 52 seconds into the third period. Drew Shore (Denver, Colo./Univ. of Denver) redirected a long wrist shot by Justin Faulk (South St. Paul, Minn./Univ. of Minnesota Duluth) past Petersson Wentzel for his second goal of the tournament. Then, at 11:40 of the third, Nick Bjugstad (Blaine, Minn./Univ. of Minnesota) notched a redirection goal of his own to give the U.S. a 3-1 lead.
While Sweden briefly narrowed the gap to one, Kreider put the game away with less than two minutes remaining when he buried a two-on-one chance high to the stick side past Petersson Wentzel.
U.S. goaltender Jack Campbell (Port Huron, Mich./Windsor Spitfires) made 34 saves in the win, while Petersson Wentzel stopped 40 shots in a losing effort.
NOTES: Chris Kreider was named Team USA's Player of the Game ... Team USA finished 1-for-5 on the power play, while Sweden was 0-for-3 with the man advantage. The U.S. allowed only one power-play goal during the tournament, which Canada scored while on a two-man advantage ... Charlie Coyle (East Weymouth, Mass./Boston Univ.), Jon Merrill (Brighton, Mich./Univ. of Michigan) and Jack Campbell were named Team USA's top players of the tournament ... Coyle, Kreider and Kyle Palmieri (Montvale, N.J./Syracuse Crunch) tied for the lead on Team USA with six points each in six games ... Kreider led Team USA with four goals in six games, and his 10 goals in two World Junior Championship appearances is tied for the fourth most in U.S. National Junior Team history ... Jack Campbell finished the tournament with a 4-1-0-1 record, 1.70 goals-against average and .941 save percentage ... Attendance at the 2011 IIHF World Junior Championship eclipsed 330,000 fans, marking the most well attended World Junior Championship on U.S. soil and the second-most attended tournament ever (2009/Ottawa, Ont.) ...
