Brandon Hagel, coming off a Team Canada victory ... goals by Nikita Kucherov and Luke Glendening provided a cushion. Andrei Vasilevskiy stopped 36 shots, 29 of them coming in the first two periods.
As the clock ticked under a minute remaining in the first period, Nikita Kucherov’s pass attempt on the power play bounced off a defenseman’s skate in front of the Calgary net and slipped through goalie Dustin Wolf for the 1-0 lead.
