USA – Czech Republic 3:0 (2:0, 1:0, 0:0)

Redmond played roughly 9 minutes, recording a plus-point, while Jan Hejda played several more minutes, but finished the game with a minus-2 rating.
Canada – Russia 6:1 (1:0, 3:0, 2:1)
Canada finished the tournament with a perfect record without losing a point, beating Russia to take gold in a rather one-sided game.

Matt Duchene didn't get on the scoresheet, but finished as the Avalanche's top scorer of the tournament.
