Trey Augustine (Detroit Red Wings) made 38 saves in a 4-1 win against Canada on Tuesday, looking more like the goalie who allowed seven goals in four games to help the U.S. win the gold medal at the 2024 WJC, rather than the one who allowed eight goals in his first two games in Ottawa. "He had his best performance of the event," U.S. coach David Carle said Tuesday. "We know that to do what we want to do here he's going to have to replicate that or potentially even play better."

The U.S. will also need more the power play that went 3-for-7 against Canada not the one that was 2-for-11 in its first three games. Defenseman Cole Hutson (Washington Capitals) drove the U.S. offense, tying for the tournament scoring lead with eight points (two goals, six assists), including the first goal against Canada. "Very dynamic," Carle said of Hutson. "I knew he was good with the puck. I didn't quite know he was that good, the deception and the ability to attack." Switzerland reached the medal round after a 3-1 win against Kazakhstan on Tuesday. They lost 2-1 to Slovakia on Dec. 27 in a game that was tied until 3:16 was left in the third period, and then scored four power-play goals in the third period of a 7-5 loss to Sweden on Sunday.
The American team is so talented across the board that they can win games in various ways, whether they attack with offense the way they handled Germany or allow their goaltending to steal a game like they did against Canada.
The Boston College line of James Hagens, Gabe Perreault and Ryan Leonard have been unreal. Cole Hutson looks creative and cerebral at all times. Goalie Trey Augustine, while shaky early in the tournament, has gotten better and better. Once again, the Americans are a legitimate gold medal threat.
The Swiss didn’t bring their strongest group of players to the world juniors, but they managed to stay out of the relegation round with their win over Kazakhstan. Ludvig Johnson has been solid on the back end for them. Leo Braillard and Simon Meier have come up clutch for the Swiss squad when they’ve needed it.
Switzerland doesn’t have much of a shot against the USA when you look at the rosters on paper, but don’t count the Swiss out. The USA should be able to take care of business against one of the less talented Swiss squads in recent years, but they have to stick to their game.asdasdads
