Kreider, Bourque & Team USA Lose to Sweden

Newyorkrangers.com reports Rangers prospects Chris Kreider and Ryan Bourque suffered their first loss with Team USA on Friday afternoon at the USA National Junior Evaluation Camp at Lake Placid, N.Y., as the Americans fell 4-1 to a spirited Team Sweden squad.

The game was a rematch of the U.S. team's dominating 6-3 victory over the Swedes on Tuesday. Both Kreider and Bourque were held scoreless.

However, Rangers 2010 sixth round pick Jesper Fasth had an assist on Sweden's final goal.

...from the report sounds like Kreider was showcasing his speed all night long. Doesn't seem like Bourque is getting much playing time, but he is being used more as a defensive forward.

...nice to see a sixth round pick get in on the scoring.

Both Kreider and Bourque are in the lineup today vs. Finland.
