Trevor Zegras was confident that Team Canada hadn’t been tested coming into the Gold Medal game at the WJC. It turns out, he was right.
“You could tell they hadn’t seen that kind of ground game from any other team in the tournament,” he said after the win. “We got a couple of quick goals early in those periods and from there we just kind of put it on shutdown mode and played great defense.”
The United States won it all and Zegras scored a goal and an assist in a 2-0 shutout over the favored Canadians.
