U.S. completes 3-game sweep of Canada in men's Para hockey series

The Canadian national Para hockey team was defeated by the United States 5-2 on Saturday in Minot, N.D., to put a wrap on a three-game series sweep by the Americans.

The rivalry has been one-sided in recent history, with the U.S. topping Canada in the gold-medal game of the last two Paralympics and last three world championships.

The last Canadian win came on Oct. 29, 2021, in the first game of a two-game series in Maryland Heights, Mo.

But within this series, the Canadians showed improvement each game, falling to its North American rival 7-0 in Wednesday's opener, 4-1 in Game 2 on Friday, and on Saturday Canada was even with the U.S. through half of the game until Jack Wallace and Josh Misiewicz scored 12 seconds apart with just over five minutes to go in the second period to make it 4-2.
