USA Hockey @usahockey
United States goal scorers in the period: Walsh, Mittelstadt, Kemp, Bellows, Tufte & M. Anderson.

Amy Moritzt @amymoritz -
So that was hard to keep track of. United States with a 6-0 lead over Belarus after one period.
By my count Casey Mittelstadt with a goal and assist and Riley Tufte with a goal and two assists.

Chris Peters @chrismpeters -
United States up 6-0 on Belarus after 1.
Walsh, Mittelstadt, Kemp, Bellows, Tufte and M. Anderson with the goals.
Woll made a few nice saves in net at end of the period, too.
Story of the first is Will Lockwood going down with looks to be an wrist injury.

It's 5 am in Belarus and I'm not sleeping but they apparently are.

I wouldn't be overly concerned. Denmark got pasted by Sweden but beat the Swiss and just played Russia really tough. Hopefully it's an off game, the roster looks pretty solid. They don't have any more official exhibition games it seems. None listed anyway. It's dumb that their really important game is so early, a day after the face the Swedes and the Swiss are off.

I'm not, but thanks
The next game is tomorrow, will see if it was a jet lag.

Who are they playing tomorrow? It's not listed in the link below. I would guess Slovakia since they only have 1 game listed as well

Pre 2018 IIHF World Junior Championship games

Belarus Slovakia exhibition game.
0:0 after the 1st period.

 

[Pan]

1-4 is the final result. Just one goal scored in two games and that's dissapointing.

Thanks for the updates.

The big test for Belarus will be the Swiss match. If they win, they'll stay up.

 

[Pan]

Thanks for the updates.

The biggest thanks go to the unknown member of the Northwest Arena team who agreed to keep me updated all the game long and had been sending me pictures of the scoreboard via facebook messenger

I guess there was no game. It was planned in the begining of the season but seems it was canceled. At least it had disappeared in the schedule of Belarus hockey federation.

Belarus still has not posted its roster. I guess we will discover the it only when they hit the ice...
