Ryan Ellis scored the go-ahead goal early in the third period and it held up as the difference as Canada defeated the United States 4-3 in semifinal play Saturday at the world hockey championship. After Canada regained the lead, goaltender Cam Talbot withstood the American pressure the rest of the way. Talbot made 30 saves in total, including all 11 shots he faced in the final period. "I didn't have my best game against them, so I'll be looking to play a better game tomorrow and to give us a chance to win." "His hockey sense is at an elite level and that was a bomb," Canadian coach Bill Peters said of Ellis' winning goal.
