Palmieri has goal, two assists for Team USA.
Recent Ducks draft pick Kyle Palmieri had a goal and two assists for the United States in an 8-1 win over Russia on Tuesday, the first of four games between the two teams at the 2009 USA Hockey National Junior Evaluation Camp.
Palmieri's wraparound goal at 2:44 of the opening period was his team's third in 41 seconds, and gave the U.S. a 3-1 lead.
Defenseman Jake Gardiner, the Ducks' first-round pick in 2008, was kept off the scoresheet.
