VIDEO: Watch Dylan Larkin Score Game-Winning Goal for Team USA in Overtime to Down Finland
By Mark Powell
The USA-Finland matchup in the World Championships in Slovakia lived up to the hype, with the game between the likely top two picks in the 2019 NHL Draft going to overtime. However, it wasn't Kaapo Kakko or Jack Hughes who played the role of hero, as Dylan Larkin notched the OT winner high and glove side.
Nice job by Dylan Larkin to catch the Finns slow in their own zone, skating in without issue to win the game for the United States. 3-2. #IIHFWorlds #LGRW pic.twitter.com/8TbBlcRQW4

This marks the second straight win for the Americans after a lackluster start in a loss to host country Slovakia. Team USA is absolutely loaded with talent, so it should come as no surprise they're one of the favorites to win the entire tournament, especially with the likes of Dylan Larkin and Jack Eichel playing a vital role.
