It appears that Columbus Blue Jackets forward Cam Atkinson still has it.
He has one patented shootout move and it looks like he has found that he can use the reverse of it as well. The backhand from him looked very natural. He made Darcy Kuemper, the Canada goalie look silly and continued to prove that he is a game changer with the puck on his stick.
One shootout goal on the forehand and one shooutout goal on the backhand to win it for the United States. That isn't too shabby for the first game of the tournament.
He did this while also taking down his teammates Ryan Murray and Pierre-Luc Dubois, who were playing for Team Canada.
After the 5-4 shootout win, the United States will take on Denmark (and Oliver Bjorkstrand) tomorrow on May 5.
