Why Auston Matthews could define Team USA’s Olympic run

Team USA and Auston Matthews have begun gearing up for the Olympics, with Men's hockey set to start on February 11th. Auston Matthews will look to lead the charge on the offensive side of the puck, as the USA looks to capture gold in Italy.

During Team USA's practice on Sunday, Matthews featured on the top line alongside Jake Guentzel and Matt Boldy. Having Matthews in this position is no surprise. The Scottsdale native captained the Four Nations roster and was on the top line there as well. This is a line that will look to dominate, especially throughout the preliminary round.
