BU skaters powered Team USA to a 6-1 win over
Latvia in a preliminary round game of the World Junior Championships in
Toronto. Clayton Keller scored twice and Patrick Harper and Jordan Greenway also
found the net. There was nearly a fifth goal from a Terrier as Kieffer Bellows
rang a shot off the post.
As he’s done numerous times for BU, Harper
tallied the game’s first goal, wiring a wrist shot from the high slot. In the
second period Keller converted a rebound from just outside the crease for a 3-1
lead. In the third period, Keller stripped a Latvian skater headed out of his
D-zone and whipped a shot home to make it 4-1. Greenway, who was a force along
the boards and behind the net throughout the contest and earned US Player of
the Game honors, wristed home a shot from the bottom of the right circle to close
out the scoring.
