In an outdoor classic, Team Canada and Team U.S.A. combined for six goals in regulation but couldn’t be separated, before the Americans held their nerve for a shootout win.

Canada led by two goals twice, but the U.S. never gave in, tying the game with two goals early in the third period. Brady Tkachuk and Kieffer Bellows scored for U.S.A. in the shootout.

Here are some of the best tweets and images from the game:
