Shane Pinto (North Dakota) helped stake the U.S. National Junior Team to a 2-0 lead after 20 minutes, but rival Canada responded with three second-period scores en route to a 6-4 win on Wednesday in the opening game for both teams at the 2020 IIHF Under-20 World Junior Championship in the Czech Republic.
Pinto finished the day with two goals and an assist, including the tying goal with 3:18 remaining in regulation, only to watch as Canada tallied the final two goals of the game for the victory. Spencer Knight (Boston College) finished with 26 saves for the Americans, who will next face Germany today in Group 'B' Play.
