LARKIN SETS U.S. RECORD, KANE TIES ANOTHER
With two assists in last night's 9-3 victory over Norway, alternate captain Dylan Larkin (Waterford, Mich.) set a new U.S. record and captain Patrick Kane (Buffalo, N.Y.) tied a U.S. record in Men's World Championship play. Larkin's two assists gave him 21 career helpers in Men's World Championship play to establish a new U.S. mark. Right behind him is Johnny Gaudreau (Salem, N.J.), whose assist last night gives him 20 all-time. Additionally, Kane's assist gave him his 10th in the tournament, matching Max Pacioretty (2012) and Craig Smith (2013) for most assists by a U.S. player in a single men's world championship.
