The US bounced back from yesterday’s less than impressive display against Latvia with a good performance against Kazakhstan.
Two first period power-play goals by Brian Rolston and Brian Gionta along with an even-strength score by Bill Guerin made it 3-0 after twenty minutes.
Mike Modano made it 4-1 at 11:53 of the third, 51 seconds after Yevgeniy Koreshkov scored for Kazakhstan on its first third-period shot.
Rick DiPietro of the Islanders started in net today for the US, and only faced 11 shots, turning away 10.
This weekend sees two games for the US; Saturday @ Noon against Slovakia and Sunday @ 10:30 AM against Sweden. Both games are going to be televised on NBC.

The US boys have got a break now with both Russia and Sweden losing a game a piece. They have to continue to improve. Might even have a chance to get out of the round robin without a loss.
Borat very happy.
I mean not very happy.
