COLOGNE, Germany (AP) The United States fought back from two goals down to beat Latvia 5-3 Saturday and move top of Group A with its fourth win at the ice hockey world championship.
Dylan Larkin, with seven assists going into the game, sealed the win with an empty-net goal after Andrew Copp put the U.S. in front for the first time with 3:22 remaining in Cologne.
Detroit Red Wings center Larkin remained the only American player to score at least a point in each of the first five games. Connor Hellebuyck made 15 saves for Jeff Blashill’s roster.
