Watch: Kneeling Matthews dekes Hedman, opens scoring vs. Sweden
Kevin Sousa-USA TODAY Sports
Team North America couldn't have drawn up a better start.
The club opened the scoring against Sweden in incredible fashion Wednesday, after 2016 first overall pick Auston Matthews deked defenseman Victor Hedman from his knees, before feeding Morgan Rielly. Matthews finished the play by burying the rebound, just 30 seconds into the game.
North America would strike just over a minute later to take an early 2-0 lead.
