STOCKHOLM — The United States prevailed over Switzerland 1-0 in overtime of the final of the ice hockey world championship on Sunday.
Tage Thompson wristed a shot past goaltender Leonardo Genoni from the top of the right circle for the winner 2:02 into overtime with the 40th shot on goal.
Logan Cooley and Brady Skjei provided the assists and goaltender Jeremy Swayman shut out the Swiss with 25 saves.
USA Hockey says it is the second trophy won at the tournament by the Americans after winning in 1933.
The Americans were also formally awarded the title in 1960 when they won the Olympic tournament and the worlds did not take place.
Bronze medal for Sweden
