There won't be a three-peat for Team USA at the World Juniors.
The United States took on Finland in the quarterfinals of the World Juniors on Friday night and lost 4-3 in overtime. Defenseman Cole Hutson gave the U.S. a 1-0 lead in the second period before Finland's Heikki Ruohonen tied it up at one. Hutson then got an assist on the second goal for Team USA, finding Cole Eiserman, who made no mistake.
Team USA took a 2-1 lead into the third period before Finland rattled off two quick goals in the second half of the third period to take a 3-2 lead. It looked like Finland was going to win the game in regulation, but Ryker Lee had other plans, tying the game at three with 1:33 left.
