MONTREAL<\/b> — The United States paid dearly for penalties in the World Junior Championship quarterfinals.<\/p>\n
[scg_html_wjc2015]Russia scored twice on the power play and once shortly after one ended in eliminating the Americans for the second straight year Friday with a 3-2 victory.<\/p>\n
The U.S. outshot Russia 41-25, including 20-5 in the third period, but crashed out of the tournament in the quarterfinals again.<\/p>\n
Anthony DeAngelo and Michigan’s Zach Werenski scored for the U.S., while Boston College’s Thatcher Demko made 22 saves.<\/p>\n
Igor Shestyorkin stopped 39 shots for Russia, which got first-period goals from Ivan Barbashyov and Alexander Sharov and a third-period goal from Sergei Tolchinski.<\/p>\n
Barbashyov’s goal 2:31 into the game came after Michigan’s Tyler Motte and Minnesota’s Ryan Collins took penalties 31 seconds apart.<\/p>\n
Sharov put Russia ahead 2-0 later in the first, scoring just nine seconds after a penalty to Minnesota’s Hudson Fasching ended.<\/p>\n
Tolchinski took advantage of a tripping penalty to Sonny Milano early in the third to push Russia’s lead to 3-1.<\/p>\n
Werenski scored with 11:04 remaining in the third to cut the deficit to 3-2, but the Americans couldn’t find a tying goal despite a power play thanks to Russia being called for too many men.<\/p>\n
Russia also eliminated the Americans from the 2014 tournament with a 5-3 victory one year earlier<\/a>.<\/p>\n
