Boston Bruins Swayman allowed a center-ice goal to Denmark, but had to laugh it off in the aftermath of the United States' win.

Bednarik, held to one assist through four games, had been playing as the USA's 13th forward, but was promoted to fourth-line center. He'd earn the primary assist on the opening goal of the game, finding his BU teammate Cole Hutson trailing the play and giving the US a 1-0 lead. After Finland knotted the game up one, Eiserman did what he does best - excel on the power play. Hutson found Eiserman in his office near the right circle, firing a one-timer past the Finnish netminder to restore the one-goal lead.
