The United States upset heavily favored and undefeated Canada 2-0 in Edmonton, Alberta, to win the gold medal Tuesday in the first world junior ice hockey championship played in a bubble.
In a defensive special, Boston College goaltender and Florida Panthers prospect Spencer Knight stopped all 34 shots he faced to secure USA's first gold since 2017.
Knight recorded his third shutout of the event, most for an American goaltender in the tournament. Forward and Anaheim Ducks draft pick Trevor Zegras led the tournament in scoring with 18 points, the second most by an American player in tourney history.
