Team USA blanks Germany; Faces Slovakia today




Five Team USA skaters, including BU freshman Jack Eichel, scored goals in a 6-0 shutout of Germany in preliminary round action at the 2015 IIHF World Junior Championships. Eichel, who had an assist and a shootout goal in the opening win vs. Finland, scored Team USA’s fifth goal on a wrap-around shot that highlighted his speed and long reach.
