The U.S. National Junior Team, behind two goals from John Farinacci (Harvard), earned a 5-2 victory over Slovakia Saturday night in Edmonton in quarterfinal play of the 2021 IIHF World Junior Championship.<\/p>\n

With the win, the U.S. advances to the tournament semifinals where it will face Finland on Monday at 9:30 p.m. EST. The game will be broadcast live on NHL Network.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a good game, and hats off to Slovakia who made it a really tough game,\u201d said Team USA coach Nate Leaman (Providence) in a statement. \u201cI\u2019m proud of the way we got through it, and we\u2019re on to the next phase.\u201d<\/p>\n

Arthur Kaliyev (OHL’s Hamilton Bulldogs), Cole Caufield (Wisconsin) and Matthew Beniers (Michigan) added goals and Spencer Knight (Boston College) finished with 16 saves in goal for Team USA.<\/p>\n

Trevor Zegras (Boston University) had two assists in the game and leads all players in scoring at the tournament.<\/p>\n

Slovakia got on the board with 1:28 left in the second period when Matej Kaslik fired one home from the right dot to break a tournament-record shutout streak by Team USA of 218:53.<\/p>\n

Team USA has advanced to the semifinals of the IIHF World Junior Championship for the fifth time in the last six years.<\/p>\n

In other action in Edmonton Saturday, Northeastern goalie Devon Levi made 29 saves as Canada knocked off the Czech Republic 3-0 to advance to the semifinals. Boston College forward Alex Newhook missed the game with an upper-body injury.<\/p>\n
