U.S. Edges Norway in Overtime Thriller at Worlds

Tage Thompson scored a hat trick, including the overtime power-play winner, to lift the U.S. to a 6-5 victory over Norway at the IIHF World Championship in Herning, Denmark. The Americans led 5-1 before Norway, propelled by Anaheim Ducks prospect Stian Solberg's own hat trick, forced overtime. U.S. captain Clayton Keller contributed a goal and two assists, with Cutter Gauthier and Michael McCarron also scoring. The win follows a prior U.S. loss to Switzerland and gives Team USA eight points in Group B. Defenseman Zach Werenski made his tournament debut and assisted after missing the previous game due to equipment delays. The U.S. extends its unbeaten streak against Norway at the Worlds since 1951 and is set to face undefeated Germany next.
