Canada and the USA took to the ice for the latest instalment of their rivalry on Friday afternoon. Unlike the previous meetings in their history, this one was contested outdoors at New Era Field in Buffalo.
The heated battle played out in frigid conditions, with the temperature around -10u2103 before the start of the game, and the wind and snow arriving just in time for puck drop.
Despite the conditions, both teams began the game with a lot of energy, with none of the slow-paced conservative minutes that usually come with outdoor games. The pace was fast with lots of attempts at rushing the puck.
