Red Knight standout helps US Select 17 team to 4-3 victory.

Christian Horn's first period goal snapped a 1-1 tie and helped the US Select 17 team garner a 4-3 win over Switzerland.

Austin Wuthrich scored a short-handed goal, eight minutes, four seconds into the contest but the Swiss got a power-play tally with 2:57 remaining in the opening frame.

Horn then gave the U.S. the lead with 21 seconds remaining in the period when he took a long pass off the board from defenseman Connor Murphy before Switzerland goalie Luca Botthauser over his glove.

The win for the Americans evened their tourney record at 1-1, following a 3-2 loss to Slovakia, Tuesday. The U.S. will face the Czech Republic at 8 a.m. CDT, Friday, before concluding tournament play by taking on host Germany, Saturday, at 10:30 a.m.
