Kasper Krog faced off against Joseph Woll, as Denmark and the USA played their first games of the tournament.
The opening of the game was pretty characteristic of the two teams. Denmark showed examples of their team defence, and USA, well, the USA scored just 2:27 in on a goal from Anaheim prospect Max Jones.
Denmark ran into a little trouble in front of their own net shortly thereafter, as Jacob Schmidt-Svejstrup went of for roughing. Denmark's previously stellar penalty kill went to work, but was unable to keep the US off the board, Kieffer Bellows making it 2-0 just five minutes in.
