MUNICH, Germany - Andy Hedlund’s (Osseo, Minn.) third-period goal sent the game into overtime, and Team USA garnered shootout tallies from three players to lead the U.S. Men’s Select Team to a 3-2 victory over Switzerland here tonight at the 2009 Deutschland Cup.

“We played another strong game and came out hard,” said Peter Laviolette, head coach of the 2009 U.S. Men’s Select Team. “We showed good resiliency in the third period and the play of David Leggio (Buffalo, N.Y.) in net was the difference for us tonight.”

The U.S. took a 1-0 lead early in the first period with a goal from Kyle Klubertanz (Sun Prairie, Wis.) at 2:46. While on the power play, Noah Clarke (La Verne, Calif.) sent a pass to Chris Collins (Fairport, N.Y.), who slid a cross-ice pass to Klubertanz. The defenseman fired a shot past Swiss goaltender Ronny Rueger low to the glove side.
