    As Szabados pokes the puck off the stick of Decker, Poulin drives in and knocks Decker to the ground. By all accounts, that should've been a penalty on the Canadian captain.

    Canada gets two shots on goal, but fails to score against the Americans, who are in need of a momentum boost of some sort. Let's see if the penalty kill helps energize the Americans for the final five minutes of the second period.
