Pacioretty: USA could win World Cup thanks to Kane

The United States may hold the key to winning the World Cup.

Montreal Canadiens forward Max Pacioretty spoke to reporters on Friday, where he noted that having reigning Hart Trophy winner Patrick Kane at their disposal gives the U.S. a great shot at winning it all.

Kane paced the NHL while hitting a career-high with 106 points last season. Early on he also looks to be one of the Americans' most durable point producers, having put up three points in three exhibition games.
