Right now, we need to keep building on the things we did well, and have to get ready to play tomorrow.\u201dArthur Kaliyev (OHL&#8217;s Hamilton Bulldogs) and Nick Robertson (OHL&#8217;s Peterborough Petes) also tallied for the Americans.With 16 seconds left in the second period, the U.S. went on its third power play.
