Germany has a good generation going on. With Moritz Seider, Dominik Bokk, Tim Stützle, John Peterka and Justin Schütz at the forefront, they created real concern in the top-ranked American team. But that was not enough. Despite two goals by Peterka and a 3-2 goal by Rögle-forward Bokk after half the match played, the US returned.
After two quick goals, it was again US leadership for the third period. And there Germany failed to recover. Because when they pressed on and chance forward, it opened up backwards, and the United States succeeded in quick adjustments instead of subtracting to 6-3.
