New York Islanders forward Brock Nelson got the United States on the board against Belarus at the World Hockey Championship on Thursday, but it was Jack Eichel who did most of the work.
Eichel skated circles around the defense before slipping a tremendous backhand pass over to Nelson, who tapped it in to cut Belarus's lead to 3-1.
Eichel added another assist on Torey Krug's goal that cut the lead to 4-2 in the third period.
