MONTREAL — Troy Terry scored the lone shootout goal, Tyler Parsons stopped all five shots he faced in the tiebreaker and the United States outlasted Canada 5-4 on Thursday night to win the World Junior Championships hockey title.
The game was decided in the five-round shootout after a scoreless 20-minute overtime period.
On Wednesday in the semifinals, Terry — a University of Denver sophomore from Highlands Ranch who was an Anaheim Ducks draft choice in 2015 — scored on all three of his shootout attempts to give the USA a 4-3 victory over Russia.
The United States won its fourth title and first since 2013.
