Kane, McAvoy go off for 5 points each as U.S. slams Korea

Patrick Kane and Charlie McAvoy each had a game-high two goals and five points as the Americans continued to cruise through the round robin with a 13-1 win over Korea on Friday.

Korea actually held the lead at one point, scoring the game's opening goal courtesy of a power-play tally from Jin Hui Ahn just over five minutes into the game.

However, it was all USA from that point on, as the Americans responded with four goals to close out the first period.

Derek Ryan and Cam Atkinson also chipped in with two goals apiece with the remainder of the team's goals coming from Tage Thompson, Neal Pionk, Blake Coleman, Anders Lee, and Sonny Milano.

Scott Darling had a fairly quiet afternoon in goal, turning away nine of the 10 shots thrown his way.

The Americans will enjoy a day off before their meeting with Norway. Meanwhile, Korea gets right back to it with a clash against Denmark on Saturday.
