There’s not many better feelings for United States hockey than sending Russia home from an international tournament.
That’s what happened Wednesday when Team USA defeated Russia in a shootout for a 4-3 semifinal win to advance to the gold medal game of the 2017 World Junior Championships in Toronto.
Troy Terry scored the winning goal in the shootout.
His goal kicked off a celebration.
The United States will play Canada for the gold medal Thursday. Team USA last won this tournament in 2013.
