Here's what happened on Day 6 of the World Hockey Championship in Paris, France, and Cologne, Germany.
United States 3 - Italy 0
- A pair of New York Islanders teammates did all of the damage for the U.S. against Italy on Wednesday, as Brock Nelson notched two goals and Anders Lee scored once.
- The Americans earned their third consecutive victory at the tournament, and they've outscored opponents 14-5 in those wins.
- Jimmy Howard only needed to make nine saves to earn the shutout for his second victory at the tourney.
