Dylan Larkin started the tournament as America’s No. 4 right wing. He will not be back there anytime soon.
Larkin, promoted to third-line center against Canada, was electric in the second period. He nearly executed an inside-out move in front of Jordan Binnington, but rang his shot off the left post.
Larkin made up for his miss later in the second.
The Americans made a stout play in the defensive zone. Matt Boldy picked off a Sidney Crosby pass to initiate a two-on-one rush for Larkin and JT Miller. Meanwhile, Thomas Harley had gone off the ice for a change after getting the puck into the offensive zone.
With only Travis Sanheim back for Canada, Larkin pushed the pace and whistled a shot on net, never even looking at Miller as an option. Larkin’s shot sizzled through Jordan Binnington, giving the Americans a 2-1 lead they wouldn’t relinquish.
