The team played only 3 official tournament games; a 4–1 win over Finland, a 4–3 loss against Russia, and a 4–3 overtime win against Sweden. Despite finishing in a tie with Russia for the final spot in the knockout round, Team North America did not advance as their head-to-head loss to Russia broke the tie.
