US wins ice hockey world championship gold with 1-0 OT win against Switzerland
STOCKHOLM (AP) --- The United States prevailed over Switzerland 1-0 in overtime
of the final of the ice hockey world championship on Sunday.
Tage Thompson wristed a shot past goaltender Leonardo Genoni from the top of
the right circle for the winner 2:02 into overtime with the 40th shot on goal.
Logan Cooley and Brady Skjei provided the assists and goaltender Jeremy Swayman
shut out the Swiss with 25 saves.
USA Hockey says it is the second trophy won at the tournament by the Americans
after winning in 1933.
The Americans were also formally awarded the title in 1960 when they won the
Olympic tournament and the worlds did not take place.
Bronze medal for Sweden
Mikael Backlund and Marcus Johansson scored two goals each as Sweden beat
Denmark 6-2 to take the bronze medal earlier Sunday.
It was the second straight third-place finish for Sweden while fourth place was
the best-ever result for Denmark.
Lucas Raymond and Mika Zibanejad also scored for the winners while Nick Olesen
and Nikolaj Ehlers scored for Denmark.
