U.S. junior hockey wins shootout over Russia

MONTREAL — Troy Terry scored on all three of his shootout attempts, the last in the seventh round to give the United States a 4-3 victory over Russia on Wednesday in the world junior hockey semifinals.

The Americans will face Canada in the final Thursday night. Canada beat Sweden 5-2 on Wednesday night.

Terry scored the winner right after Russia’s Alexander Polunin hit the crossbar. The University of Denver forward beat Ilya Samsonov through the legs for the third time.
