Adam Page scored twice during a four-goal first period for the U.S. as it shut out Germany 7-0 in preliminary play at the IPC World Sled Hockey Championship in Buffalo, N.Y., on Monday night.
The U.S. outshot Germany 27-5, improving to 2-0 after a 6-1 win over Russia in its opener Sunday.
“It seems everything was going in that we were putting toward the net,” Page said, according to the International Paralympic Committee. “But now, we’ve just got to focus on the next game.”
The U.S. wraps up preliminary play against Italy on Wednesday (NBC Sports Live Extra at 2 p.m. and NBCSN at 10:30 p.m.). The U.S. will top its group with a victory over the Italians, advancing to the semifinals Friday.
Page, 23, was part of Paralympic gold medal-winning teams in 2010 and 2014 after being born with spina bifida, a birth defect caused by incomplete formation of the vertebrae.
Declan Farmer, Josh Pauls, Paul Schaus, Samuel Mumper and Brody Roybal also scored against Germany.
