But it was a normal start to a hockey game when gloves remained on sticks and both teams got started.

However, there was something similar to the last game when it was Team Canada who first came on the board thanks to Nathan Mackinnon’s Nifty Worder almost five minutes into the period.

Who is better than Brady Tkachuk, one of these fighters in the Bell Center on Saturday, and got the job done on an Auston Matthews pass to the middle of the ice?

With three teams of Canada players around their curl, Tkachuk fought through them all and managed to get just enough stick on the puck to put it past Canada goalkeeper Jordan Binnington to tie the game.

With six minutes playing in the second bundled Bennett it on a perfectly placed craftsman over the shoulder of Hellybuyck, created by Mitch Marner, causing US defender Adam Fox to chase him to the middle of the ice before he slid the puck to an open Bennett.
