Alex Turcotte (LAK) makes it 1-0 USA after two straight dominant shifts where they hemmed Canada in their own zone. After some sketchy puck management early, USA has settled in. Turcotte's medal round has been excellent.

Huge PK for USA but was that ever scrambly from the Americans.

The second period started with a goal in the first minute.
Trevor Zegras (ANA) makes it 2-0 and ties Jordan Schroeder for the most points in a World Junior career for USA with 27. Schroeder played in three WJCs, this is Zegras's second.

The pinch from Jake Sanderson(#Sens) at the top of your screen started this play. He keeps the puck in and #ArtyParty filters back to keep the play in the US attacking zone. #USAWJC pic.twitter.com/Gj0LmNdEjr

Canada with 1 shot so far in the 2nd. They have not seen speed like this yet. The US absolutely blazing out there, first on almost every pucks. Impressive.

Canada is picking up the pace. That could be dangerous for Team USA.

Not the best scoring chance or angle, but Knight leaves no rebound in front on the Byfield rush chance. #WorldJuniors #FLAPanthers pic.twitter.com/oruIeueRvx

Turcotte just hopped over the boards for his next shift.

Cam York(#Flyers) with an excellent stick and body position to keep Byfield from getting to the inside. Still a 2-0 Team USA lead. #WorldJuniors #GoBlue pic.twitter.com/qnaBJQUs2h

Canada outshooting the U.S. 10-1 in the 3rd but time a major factor — under 3 to go in regulation.
McMichael just had a breakaway and Knight stoned him

Spencer Knight's biggest save of the tournament so far.
