An American Columbus Blue Jacket is tearing up the 2018 IIHF World Championships. It will be a tournament to remember, regardless of result.
Cam Atkinson scored one goal in the game but it was an absolutely impressive one after receiving a pass from Nick Bonino that was professional quality. It was only the second goal of the game, but proved to be a crucial one as the U.S. had to hold on until the third period before pulling away.
