Charlie Coyle’s second multi-point game of the World Junior Championships helped Team USA blank Germany, 4-0, in Buffalo. The Terrier freshman center staked the Americans to a 1-0 first-period lead with a rush to the net and quick wrist shot from close in. Coyle, who has five points in two games to lead all U.S. scorers, also assisted on Chris Kreider’s power play goal in the second period and earned U.S. player of the game honors. Team USA takes on Switzerland tonight before advancing to the medal round.
Commenting on Coyle's contributions, U.S. coach Keith Allain told New England Hockey Journal:
"Charlie’s been fantastic for us; you don’t need me to tell you that. One of the areas when we put our team together in Lake Placid, we were young down the middle, and Charlie is one of those ’92 center icemen who’s come here and really done a wonderful job for us.”
