LA Kings netminder Cal Petersen speaks about Team USA’s opener at the 2021 World Championship: a 2-1 loss to Finland. They now prepare for Canada.

Team USA didn’t get off to the start they wanted to at the 2021 World Championship in Riga, Latvia. On Saturday, the Americans fell short to Finland by a 2-1 count. LA Kings netminder Cal Petersen got the nod in this one and, despite the loss, had a good outing with 27 saves.
