MONTREAL -- Troy Terry scored in the fourth round of a shootout and Tyler Parsons stopped all five shots in the tiebreaker to give the United States a 5-4 victory against Canada in the gold medal game of the 2017 IIHF World Junior Championship at Bell Center on Thursday.
It was the second straight game that Terry gave the U.S. a victory with his shootout heroics. He went 3-for-3 in a 4-3 shootout victory against Russia in the semifinals on Wednesday.
The win by the United States was its fourth gold medal and first since a 3-1 win against Sweden at the 2013 WJC. It was also the third straight championship-round win by the U.S. against Canada. Canada last beat the U.S. 2-0 in the gold medal game at the 1997 WJC.
Canada, which has reached the final a record 25 times, has won one gold medal in the past eight WCJ.
Thomas Chabot (Ottawa Senators), Jeremy Lauzon (Boston Bruins), Nicholas Roy (Carolina Hurricanes) and Mathieu Joseph (Tampa Bay Lightning) scored and Carter Hart (Philadelphia Flyers) made 31 saves for Canada.
Kieffer Bellows (New York Islanders) scored twice, Charlie McAvoy (Boston Bruins) and Colin White (Ottawa Senators) once and Parsons (Calgary Flames) made 46 saves for the United States.
Roy and Joseph scored in a span of 3:13 early in the third period to give Canada a 4-2 lead. Roy's goal at 1:52 was on the power play. Bellows scored his second of the game at 4:44 before White deflected in a shot from the left post at 7:07 for a 4-4 tie.
Defenseman McAvoy and Bellows scored to pull the United States into a 2-2 tie in the second. McAvoy scored off a wrist shot from between the circles with Luke Kunin creating traffic in front of Hart at 3:04. The U.S. scored a power-play goal to tie when a shot from the point by defenseman Adam Fox (Calgary Flames) deflected off Bellows and past Hart at 13:22.
Canada took a 2-0 lead on goals by defensemen Chabot and Lauzon in the first. Chabot scored off a shot from low in the left circle at 4:38. Lauzon made it 2-0 off a shot from between the circles at 9:02.
Congratulations boys, well played!!!!!
