Trey Augustine and Team USA were defeated by the host team, Czechia, in the quarterfinals of the IIHF World Championship.
In the 2nd period, Pavel Zacha scored the only goal of the game, which was enough to eliminate Team USA. Even if team USA had more shots on goals (36 vs 28), it wasn't enough. They ended the tournament with a record of 5-0-1-2. They haven't won a medal since 2021, which was a bronze one. The last time the Americans won a gold medal was in 1960.
Detroit prospect Trey Augustine had a brief opportunity to play in the tournament. In 4 games, he posted a save percentage (SA) of .929 and a goals against average of 1.89. However, he didn't play much as former Red Wing Alex Nedeljkovic was used as the primary goaltender eventually.
There's also Red Wing's own Jeff Petry, who was part of the roster and recorded 1 assist in 7 games.
