COLOGNE, Germany — The United States bounced back from its surprise opening loss at the ice hockey world championship with a 7-2 rout of Denmark on Sunday, thanks to a hat trick from the Arizona Coyotes’ Clayton Keller in the Group A game.

France defeated Finland for the first time, in a Group B match in Paris which was followed by an inspiring gesture. Pierre-Edouard Bellemare was named France’s player of the game but insisted goaltender Florian Hardy take the award instead after Finland outshot the home side 43-26.
