Casey Mittelstadt (Minnesota) and former Boston
University forward Kieffer Bellows each scored two goals as the U.S. National
Junior Team opened the 2018 IIHF World Junior Championship with a 9-0 victory
over Denmark on Tuesday night in Buffalo.
Mittelstadt and Bellows were two of seven players who
recorded two points apiece for the U.S. in its opening game, and were also two
of the seven American players who tallied a goal on Tuesday. Team USA led 5-0
after one period of play, and then added two goals in each of the final two
stanzas.
Joseph Woll (Boston College) stopped all 17 Danish shots,
as the U.S. outshot Denmark, 36-17. Team USA will next face Slovakia, a 6-0
victim of Canada earlier today, on Thursday.
