It made me scramble for the roster sheet to get the USA numbers down.

1-0 USA. Reilly one-timer from left point. Larkin providing the screen.

Wow, Can't tell who anybody is, then Eichel shows up and it's like, "hey I recognize that skating"

Yeah. His stick is a giveaway a lot of the time as well. Having watched some of his games on really crappy feeds it's still always easy to tell who he is. His passes looked a bit rusty on that PP sequence though he had a nice set-up earlier on that advantage.

Yeah, he doesn't seem to be going all that hard, not sure if that's a product of his game or just because of the competition.

He did have a nice saucer pass to the front there though.

Great pass, but idk if it's just cause it's an exhibition game against Austria, but he doesn't look interested at all right now

How's are boy lookin'?

So far to me he's standing out, which is saying a lot. He's getting a lot of ice time, controlling the play, made a few nice passes. He got out muscled a few times though and had the puck stripped because he waited too long, besides that he looks good.

 

[Kiraly]

How's are boy lookin'?

Getting better as the game progresses...

...kid can really fly. He is going to be fun to watch.

 

[Kiraly]

Matthews with the third U.S. goal...

...woud be something if Buffalo wound up with him as well.

Game Recap - United States Beats Austria 4-1 - World Championships Pre-Tournament Game - USAHockey.com - Tuesday, April 28.

Vienna, Austria - Four different United States players scored while goaltenders Connor Hellebuyck and Alex Lyon combined to make 28 saves as the United States Men's National Team skated past Austria 4-1 in a pre-tournament game at the Eissportzentrum Kargran today.

The United States opened the scoring just 2:08 into the game when Mike Reilly found the back of the net with a one-timer from the point. The play started when Dylan Larkin dropped the puck for Dan Sexton in the left corner. Sexton grabbed the pass, moved up the wall and fed Reilly at the blue line, where Reilly muscled a shot past Austrian goaltender Rene Swette's blocker. Austria answered with a goal four minutes later to even the score at 1-1 after one period.

Neither team cracked the scoreboard in the middle period, but the United States scored three times in the third frame to secure the 4-1 win. Steve Moses converted on a power play 18 seconds in to give the United States a 2-1 lead. After United States gained possession, Tory Krug skated through the left circle in the offensive zone and threaded a cross-ice pass to Moses, who redirected the puck into the top corner from the edge of the crease. Auston Matthews doubled the United States advantage when he collected a rebound and buried at 11:30. Trevor Lewis wheeled into the zone around an Austrian defender and hit Matthews just inside the blue line. Matthews deked and lost the puck, but Lewis quickly passed it back to Matthews for the tap-in marker. Then with United States skating with a late man-advantage, Jeremy Morin closed the scoring with a quick shot from the left circle. Zach Redmond fed the puck through traffic to Morin, who sent a one-timer into the top corner.

The United States Men's National Team will now travel to Ostrava, Czech Republic and play Finland on Friday, May 1 in its first preliminary-round game of the 2015 IIHF Men's World Championship. The contest, which is slated to begin at 10:15 am ET, can be seen LIVE on NBCSN or via NBC Sports LIVE Extra at NBCSports.com

On the second goal it seemed like Eichel quickly moved that puck over to Moses while driving the net but I guess they didn't think so. He also won the draw to get the puck to Krug who they did give an assist. It's like he got left out of both the primary and secondary assists there lol.

Still better than Max Domi getting the credit.

 

[LaxSabre]

Auston Matthews is heading back to the United States in the morning after playing in tonight's contest.
Matthews came from Switzerland where led the United States National Under-18 Team to the 2015 IIHF U18 World Championships Gold Medal.
He was also named MVP of the tourney. Nick Bonino arrived here in Vienna today, but did not play. Seth Jones is expected to join the team on Wednesday.

Secondary assists in International play is different then the NHL. If Crosby is near the puck they give him an assist.

What number did Eichel wear?
