Canada suffers familiar fate against U.S. with back-to-back losses in Para hockey series

Canada's national Para hockey team was unable to bounce back against the juggernaut United States in Game 2 of their three-game series on Friday, falling 4-1 for their second straight loss in Minot, N.D.

American star Declan Farmer opened the scoring and led his team with three points in a game that saw Canada outshot 24-11 at Maysa Arena.

Canadian captain Tyler McGregor of Forest, Ont., scored the team's lone goal, striking on the power play in the second period. St. John's native Liam Hickey collected the assist.

The U.S. entered the final frame with a 3-1 lead after second-period goals from Josh Misiewicz and Noah Grove, and Brody Roybal added a power-play marker to close out the scoring.
