Smith tied the game for the Americans with a wrist shot 10:17 into the second period, and Coyle deflected a slap shot by defensemen Seth Jones into the net for the go-ahead goal.
Defenseman Jake Gardiner scored the third with a wrist shot midway through the final period as the U.S. set up a semifinal against either Sweden or defending champion Russia.
