Auston Matthews
While Auston Matthews didn’t find the back of the net for Team USA last year in the 4 Nations, he got started on the right foot against Latvia. The Toronto Maple Leafs star was one of four scorers for the Americans.
Matthews scored a power-play goal in the third period, and he looked sharp overall, generating numerous opportunities. He should be able to replicate that performance against a weak Denmark team.
Expect Matthews to thrive and make it two games in a row with at least one goal.
Brock Nelson
Brock Nelson made a loud impression in his Olympic debut for the Americans, scoring twice in a 5-1 victory over Latvia. The competition doesn’t exactly get tougher today, as the Danes aren’t a hockey powerhouse by any means.
That pair of goals will give Nelson some confidence, and he’s one of the best finishers in the NHL. The 34-year-old has scored 29 goals this season for the title-chasing Colorado Avalanche.
Nelson also scored in two of his final three games before the Olympic break. He’ll keep it rolling.
Matthew Tkachuk
Matthew Tkachuk is one of the standout names on this Team USA roster, and he did his part in the tournament opener, tallying a pair of helpers. Although the Florida Panthers star just recently returned from injury, he comes into the Olympics in good shape.
Tkachuk scored three times in five contests pre-Olympic break, and he was solid in the 4 Nations last year. Tkachuk finished the tournament with two goals in three games before suffering a nasty injury.
He’ll score his first-ever Olympic goal today.
