MONTREAL — Troy Terry scored the lone shootout goal, Tyler Parsons stopped all five shots he faced in the tiebreaker and the United States outlasted Canada 5-4 on Thursday night to win the world junior hockey title.

The game was decided in the five-round shootout after a 20-minute overtime period.

On Wednesday in the semifinals, Terry scored on all three of his shootout attempts to give the United States a 4-3 victory over Russia. He beat the goalies between the legs on all four attempts in the two games.

“Before the shootout, I was thinking about trying something different,” Terry said. “As I came down, I decided I just had to try to go five-hole.”

The University of Denver forward and Anaheim draft pick beat Carter Hart in the fourth round of the shootout. Parsons then stopped Anthony Cirelli’s attempt, American Jeremy Bracco missed a chance to end it in the top of fifth round, and Nicholas Roy mishandled the puck on Canada’s last attempt.

“He’s unbelievable” Boston University forward Clayton Keller said about Terry. “He’s a guy that doesn’t get nervous. He’s always calm and confident and he just has that ice in his veins. He came up clutch for us again, and (Parsons) made that big save at the end.”

Parsons made 46 saves. The Michigan native and Calgary draft pick plays for London in the OHL.
