The United States upset heavily favored and undefeated Canada 2-0 in Edmonton to win the gold medal in the first ever World Junior Championship played in a bubble.
In a defensive special, Boston College goaltender and Florida Panthers prospect Spencer Knight stopped all 34 shots he faced to secure USA's first gold since 2017.
Knight recorded his third shutout of the tournament, most ever for an American goaltender in the tournament. Additionally, forward and Anaheim Ducks draft pick Trevor Zegras led the tournament in scoring with 18 points. That is the second-most by an American player in the history of the tournament.
