Ducks at the WJCs, Day 11.
Consider this the last Ducks-related World Junior Championships update, unless Canada fans get their wish and see backup goaltender Igor Bobkov in the gold-medal game between Russia and Canada.
The U.S. went out on a high note today with a 4-2 win over Sweden that clinched the bronze in Buffalo. Kyle Palmieri had a pair of assists, including the primary helper on Chris Kreider's goal to wrap up the victory with 1:53 left in a 3-2 game.
In six tournament games, Palmieri had six points (two goals, four assists), which co-led the Americans along with Charlie Coyle (a San Jose Sharks prospect) and Chris Kreider (Rangers). Only 13 players had more points in the tournament - though that could change after the gold-medal game.
Emerson Etem was held scoreless Wednesday, finishing the tournament with a goal and a minus-1 rating in the six games.
