Chris Wood and Dustan Hamar combined to make 13 saves in the Canadian net, but a U.S. goal with 2:35 to go was the difference as Canada’s National Sledge Development Team dropped its third straight game to the Americans.

Ben Delaney and Jordan Cullum scored in regulation time and Cam Sinclair added a goal in the shootout, but the Canadians couldn’t hold on to a late lead and came out on the short end against the U.S. for the second night in a row.

Nicholas Tessier opened the scoring less than three minutes in, but that would be it for Canadian offence as Canada’s National Sledge Development Team fell to the Americans in the opener of a three-game series in Toronto.
