from Ansar Khan of Mlive,

The United States got goals from Cutter Gauthier, Alex Tuch and Rocco Grimaldi in the final 10:09 of the third period Saturday and defeated Denmark 3-0 to remain undefeated at the World Championship in Tampere, Finland.
The U.S. is one of two unblemished teams in the tournament at 5-0, in first place in Group A with 15 points.
Tuch (Buffalo) assisted on the other two goals. Casey DeSmith (Pittsburgh) made 22 saves.
Detroit Red Wings prospect Carter Mazur had no points and four shots on goal in 12:05.

from Kevin Allen of Detroit Hockey Now,

What Does His Detroit Future Hold?
At the very least, Chiasson demonstrated he can still contribute to an NHL team. The Red Wings were his seventh NHL team. He’s been around the block a few times.
The Red Wings appreciated what he brought to the team, but not enough to give him a new contract at the end of the season.
GM Steve Yzerman likes to see what’s available to him in the marketplace before making final decisions on role players.
You would think Chiasson was impressive enough last season in the AHL and his return to the Show to earn another look by some NHL teams. His power play ability alone makes him attractive. But his credentials were well established last summer, and the Red Wings’ minor-league offer was the best chance he had. Trying to stay in the league as a role player is a tough business.

I missed this game, but the Swedish press is up in arms about Joe Veleno stomping on Nino Niederreiter, and I'd imagine that the Swiss press is pissed, too.

I can't see a situation where Veleno, Canada's #1 center, isn't suspended. This was blatant. https://t.co/O8jilRcjJT

This is quite good. Moritz Seider gets talked up by Lucas Raymond, Joe Veleno, J.J. Peterka and Nico Sturm. https://t.co/SF2vJlPrTk
