With the Buffalo Sabres and the Boston Bruins playing each other, seeing the top two goaltenders for Team USA play against each other was a likely scenario, but instead both coaches played their backup. Due to an injury to Lalime, for Buffalo that meant starting Jhonas Enroth for the first time in his career.

This resulted in a 4-2 loss for Enroth, but he looked good in net. None of the goals against were due to mistakes on his part, and while allowing four against will never be outstanding he did rather well. He stopped at least three breakaway chances and quite honestly looked better than Patrick Lalime usually does.
