The U.S. National Junior Team outshot Canada 45-37, but fell 6-2 in the semifinals of the 2023 IIHF World Junior Championship before a record crowd of 10,636 at the Scotiabank Centre Wednesday night in Halifax, N.S.<\/p>\n

Team USA will face Sweden in the bronze medal game Thursday at 3:30 p.m. local time\/2:30 p.m. EST at the Scotiabank Centre and the game can be seen live on NHL Network.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe certainly had our chances tonight,\u201d said Rand Pecknold (Quinnipiac), head coach of the U.S. National Junior Team, in a statement. \u201cI thought their goaltender was the best player on the ice. We\u2019re all disappointed obviously, but we have a chance to win a medal tomorrow and that\u2019s our focus.\u201d<\/p>\n

Logan Cooley (Minnesota) and Kenny Connors (Massachusetts) scored in the first period for the U.S. and Trey Augustine (Michigan State commit) finished with 31 saves in the U.S. net.<\/p>\n

The United States also had two goals overturned in the game.<\/p>\n

Jackson Blake (North Dakota) tied the game at 7:22 of the second period, but it was waved off for goaltender interference. Canada scored at 12:40 and had a 4-2 advantage after 40 minutes.<\/p>\n

Rutger McGroarty (Michigan) then scored just 38 seconds into the third period, but another video review eliminated the tally. Canada scored at the 9:45 mark of the third and scored shorthanded into an empty net with 3:15 left to account for the 6-2 final.<\/p>\n

Connors was named Team USA\u2019s player of the game.<\/p>\n

Cooley, Jimmy Snuggerud (Minnesota) and captain Luke Hughes (Michigan) were named the three best players of the tournament for the United States.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
