The Vegas Golden Knights forward is one of four players to be representing the franchise in Slovakia, with Shea Theodore, Jonathan Marchessault and Mark Stone flying the flag for Team Canada.
It has been a tournament to remember for the quartet so far but it is the performances of Gusev that have really caught the eye if you are a Golden Knights fan.
The 26-year-old currently sits sixth on the points leaderboard with nine points (three goals, six assists) in five games played, including a tuck against Latvia earlier today as Russia made it five straight wins at the tournament with their first championship since 2014 well within reach.
