USA 5, Canada 3.
Believe it: The United States beat the Canadians on their own soil, going a perfect 3-0 in Group A and earning a bye into the quarterfinals of the Olympic men's hockey tournament.
With Corey Perry in the penalty box for slashing, Jamie Langenbrunner scored the eventual game-winning goal with just under 13 minutes left in the third period.
Brian Rafalski scored twice, Chris Drury scored once, and Ryan Kesler poke-checked the game's final goal past Perry and into an empty net to seal the victory. The Ducks' Bobby Ryan picked up the assist on Drury's second-period goal, the only point among the five Anaheim players in the game.
Ryan Miller made 42 saves for the victory.
