"He didn't play like it against Denmark. Boston's netminder allowed three goals on just 12 shots, one being a center-ice strike by rugged Danish league defender Nick Jensen, and the other a point shot from another Danish league blueliner, Phillip Bruggissier, with less than three seconds remaining in the second period. It was a far cry from the near-perfect performance turned in by Connor Hellebuyck in the USA's 5-1 win over Latvia to open the tournament."
"The game was much more dramatic than many had predicted, but the end result was a win for the United States over Denmark, 6-3. Team USA trailed 2-1 after the first period, before roaring back to score three in the second, and was able to keep Denmark at bay until the end, with Jake Guentzel and Jack Hughes providing insurance goals."
The United States defeated Denmark 6-3 after trailing 2-1 following the first period, scoring three goals in the second to take control. Jake Guentzel and Jack Hughes added insurance goals as the U.S. held Denmark scoreless late. Jeremy Swayman allowed three goals on 12 shots, including a long-range strike by Nick Jensen and a point shot by Phillip Bruggissier with under three seconds left in the second period, raising questions about goaltending depth. Connor Hellebuyck had delivered a near-perfect performance in the 5-1 win over Latvia. The U.S. sits 2-0 atop Group C ahead of Germany.
