U.S. tops Canada for bronze at hockey worlds
COPENHAGEN, Denmark -- The United States topped Canada 4-1 to claim the bronze medal at the ice hockey championship on Sunday.
Chris Kreider led the U.S. with two goals.
Forward Nick Bonino scored the winner on a rebound during a power play in the final period. Anders Lee and Kreider added empty-net insurance goals to give the U.S. its third bronze in six years.
Canada had to settle for a disappointing fourth-place finish.
Kreider scored the go-ahead goal for the U.S. in the second period, capitalizing on a mistake by Canada captain Connor McDavid.
Canada answered with a Marc-Edouard Vlasic shot that went in between the pads of goaltender Keith Kinkaid.
