Detroit Red Wings' Carter Mazur assists on OT goal as U.S. downs Sweden at Worlds

Detroit Red Wings prospect Carter Mazur added another memory to his standout performances at his first World Championship.

The 21-year-old forward assisted on the goal that secured a 4-3 overtime victory for the United States over top Group A rival Sweden Tuesday at Nokia Arena in Tampere, Finland. That put the U.S., which has Wings coach Derek Lalonde on its staff, top place in the group with 20 points.

Dylan Samberg accepted Mazur's centering pass from below the goal line and roofed it at 1:37 of overtime.

The point was Mazur's fourth of the tournament.
