USA Tops CHL in First Round of Prospects Challenge

University of Notre Dame commit Sammy Nelson scored one goal and set up another as the USA National Team Development Program defeated Team Canadian Hockey League, 4-2, on Tuesday night at the Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary in the first round of the 2025 CHL USA Prospects Challenge. It was the first time the NTDP had defeated the CHL head-to-head in this, the second edition of the tournament 

Boston University commit Brady Knowling made 42 saves in net for the NTDP to earn First Star of the Game accolades. The U.S. also killed off all five CHL power plays on the night. The two squads will complete their two-game series tonight at VisitLethbridge.com Arena, home of the WHL’s Lethbridge Hurricanes, in Alberta (8 p.m. ET, NHL Network).

ADDENDUM: The CHL rebounded from a two-goal deficit to win Game Two by a 4-3 score, but Minnesota-Duluth commit Victor Plante scored just under six minutes into 3-on-3, sudden-death "super overtime" to lift the NTDP to the series victory.
