USA 11, Austria 1
KK Harvey continued her torrid pace, leading Team USA with three goals and an assist for the first hat trick this tournament. She leads all skaters with nine points (3 goals, 6 assists).
Joy Dunne had a goal and three assists, Tessa Janecke had two goals and an assist and Hilary Knight added two goals in the win.
Austria started strong and despite only having five shots in the game, did still manage a few dangerous chances on net. But it's really difficult to slow the US juggernaut when they're rolling.
Aerin Frankel and Gwyn Philips split time in net for the American. Magdalena Luggin, younger sister of Selma, who had started the first few games for Austria, took over in net, making 55 saves. Magdalena is the starting goaltender at Mercyhurst this season.
In all, 16 Americans tallied points in the game.
Annika Fazokas scored the goal for Austria to ruin the shutout.
Canada 10, Denmark 0
This one was handily in Canada's favor as nearly every skater tallied at least a point - only Daryl Watts and Kati Tabin did not get on the scoresheet. They were led by Laura Stacey's goal and two assists. Emma Maltais added two goals, Jessie Eldridge and Sarah Fillier each had a goal and an assist and Caitlin Kraemer and Chloe Primerano each had two assists. Sara Manness also scored her first Worlds goal.
Denmark held them off for about 15 minutes as the defense played well and forced Canada to get creative. They simply do not have the experience and depth against a team like Canada and once the Canadians broke through, the goals came in waves.
The Danes switched out their goalies midway through the game. Aya Petersen made 29 saves while Caroline Bjergstad had 35
