Lee, Nelson Lead USA To 3-0 Win

Team USA's 3-0 win on Wednesday was all-Islanders.
Brock Nelson scored a pair of goals and Anders Lee potted one, as the two Islanders accounted for all three goals in USA's 3-0 win over Italy at the IIHF World Championship.

Nelson opened the scoring in the first period, converting a turnover into a top-corner snipe at 5:17.

The Warroad, MN, native made it 2-0 with a shorthanded goal in the second period, using his body to force a turnover, rushing the puck up the ice and tipping home a pass from Dylan Larkin at 5:53.

Lee's power-play goal made it 3-0 less than two minutes after Nelson's tally, stuffing a puck through Andreas Bernard at the side of the net.

Lee and Nelson both have four points (3G, 1A) through four games at IIHF Worlds. Team USA is 3-1, winning three straight games after dropping their tournament opener to Thomas Greiss, Dennis Seidenberg and Team Germany.
Team USA is back in action on Saturday when they take on Latvia at 6:15 a.m. eastern time.
