Bednarik, held to one assist through four games, had been playing as the USA's 13th forward, but was promoted to fourth-line center. He'd earn the primary assist on the opening goal of the game, finding his BU teammate Cole Hutson trailing the play and giving the US a 1-0 lead. After Finland knotted the game up one, Eiserman did what he does best - excel on the power play. Hutson found Eiserman in his office near the right circle, firing a one-timer past the Finnish netminder to restore the one-goal lead.

The opening period featured strong goaltending from both Sergei Bobrovksy and Juuse Saros, and it was a big Bob stop on Matthew Wood that lead to Florida's only goal at 16:26. After denying Wood on a short track breakaway, Bobrovsky sweep the puck to the left side and A.J. Greer sent Sam Bennett and Carter Verhaeghe away on a 2-on-1 rush. Bennett threaded a pass through the legs of defenseman Nicolas Hague and Verhaeghe easily finished with Saros going the wrong way.

Cal's dreams of early bowl eligibility and perhaps a special season took a major hit Friday night in a 42-34 double-overtime loss at Virginia Tech's sold-out Lane Stadium. Here's how things unfolded in overtime: - Cal scored on one play when Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele fired a 25-yard touchdown strike to tight end Mason Mini. - Virginia Tech answered with quarterback Kyron Drones running it from 17 yards on second-and-2, tying the score at 34-all.
