The latians defend they like to pack it in and play inside the Dots here the US went to work down below the goal line a little bit of a broken play but foris with a clean look as he steps in takes his ice and then just lasers one through
The traffic that gets over the pad and under the glove of Divas rollof Team USA good Zone play here Puck to the net it’s loose kicks around the slot they clear but not out Casey With A Chance in front and there is perau who just puts it into
The empty Cage Great pass and Team USA Cashes in on a long stretch of offensive zone time and it’s two nothing and laia comes the other way two onone here comes the shot score Los Mish fires that one low glove beats Fowler and the latians
Are on the board it’s 2-1 little bit of a look off to freeze the goenda gets right back on the attack Casey throws it towards the net and he scores talk about a response and the Americans grab a 3-1 lead gain the line once again and this was just a simple
