Teddy Mutryn (Norwell, Mass.) doubled the U.S. lead with 2:56 to play in the first when he won a race to the puck after a dump in by Ben Kevan (Fairfield, Calif.) and slapped it past German goaltender Lukas Stuhrmann as he attempted a poke check.

Team USA took a commanding lead early in the second period, scoring five times in just over six minutes. 

Spehar crashed the net after a shot by Donovan and batted home the rebound at the 1:50 mark, and just 36 seconds later, Sykora capitalized on the power play with a top-shelf laser from the left circle to put the U.S. up 4-0. 

Matthew Lansing (Tonawanda, N.Y.) scored a breakaway goal at 3:46, stuffing the puck past Stuhrmann with a back hand finish. 

Chase Jette (Lake Forest, Ill.) tapped in a rebound from Kevan at 4:42, and Moe added to the tally at 6:03 to give the U.S. a 7-0 lead.

With 3:33 remaining in the middle frame, Sykora netted his second power play goal of the game with a wrist shot from the top of the left circle. 

Moe extended the lead 1:17 into the final frame with a shorthanded tally. 

Max Bleicher got Germany on the board at the 3:03 mark, but Cooper Simpson (Shakopee, Minn.) and Donovan each scored to give the U.S. an 11-1 lead. 

Germany added two more tallies in the third period, and Spehar picked up his second of the game to account for the 12-3 final. 

Charles Menard (Fairbanks, Alaska) and Carter Casey (Grand Rapids, Minn.) split the win goal for the U.S., combining for 12 saves.
