Team USA is heading to the IIHF World Championship semifinals, on the strength of two goals by an Arizona native named, uh. Patrick...Jack...no wait. Auston Matthews, that's his name. Matthews, in fact, scored the only two goals in the game.
Matthews' first goal came in the second period, leveling the game after the Czech's penalty shot converted. The 1-1 score held through regulation, through overtime, and into a shootout. Matthews' shootout goal was a thing of beauty:
Matthews picks up a two-goal game with the shootout winner to send Team USA to the semis.
