Trey Augustine makes one of his 38 saves Tuesday night against Canada (photo: USA Hockey).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Trey Augustine (Michigan State) made 38 saves and the U.S. National Junior Team scored three times on the power play on the way to a 4-1 victory over Canada Tuesday night in the final preliminary round game for both teams in the 2025 IIHF World Junior Championship at Canadian Tire Centre in Ottawa, Ont.<\/p>\n

With the victory, the U.S. won its preliminary round pool for the fifth straight year.<\/p>\n

\u201cI liked our emotion and how we played for each other,\u201d said United States coach David Carle (Denver) in a statement. \u201cTrey was excellent in goal and our special teams did a great job. We\u2019ll enjoy this tonight and get set for our quarterfinal game against Switzerland.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cole Hutson (Boston University) nearly opened the scoring for the U.S. with 12:46 remaining in the first period, as his shot beat Canadian netminder Carter George, but rang off the post.<\/p>\n

Hutson did give the U.S. the lead on its first power-play opportunity as he fired a shot from between the circles that found the back of the net at 13:02. Cole Eiserman (Boston University) assisted on the play.<\/p>\n

Team USA captain Ryan Leonard (Boston College) nearly gave the U.S. a 2-0 lead late in the period, but his shot from the slot hit the short-side post.<\/p>\n

Augustine, named the U.S. Player of the Game, sprawled to make a pair of crucial saves at the 7:06 mark of the second frame with Canada on the power play to maintain the U.S. lead and stopped 15 total shots in the frame.<\/p>\n

The scored remained 1-0 in favor of the U.S. through 40 minutes of play, despite 28 combined shots from the teams in the middle stanza.<\/p>\n

Bradly Nadeau (Maine 2023-24) scored on the power play at 1:58 of the third to tie the game, but just 2:24 later, Danny Nelson (Notre Dame) put the U.S. ahead for good as he fired one home from the slot on the power play after a pass from Hutson.<\/p>\n

Eiserman added to the U.S. advantage at 13:21 with his team\u2019s third power-play goal of the night. Leonard capped off the scoring with an empty-net goal to account for the 4-1 final score.<\/p>\n

The U.S. National Junior Team will face Switzerland in the quarterfinals Thursday at 2:30 p.m. ET. The game will be broadcast live on NHL Network.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
