The U.S.A. Men's Ice Hockey team continues to be successful in the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia. Although it was a hard fought victory, the team was able to prevail against the likes of Russia via 3-2 margin that ended in a shootout on Saturday.
T.J. Oshie of the NHL's St. Louis Blues netted the puck four times in the O.T. round and was able to score the winning goal in the eighth.
The Anaheim Ducks' Cam Fowler and Joe Pavelski of the San Jose Sharks also scored in the preliminary round. On defense, the Los Angeles Kings' Jonathan Quick had 29 saves while stopping five attempts in the shootout round.
