It appears as though Matthews will start the tournament on the second line with players like Jake Guentzel and Jack Hughes.
However, it has since been revealed that the captain is being one of the biggest assignments of all.
According to reports out of Team USA practice, Auston Matthews has been placed on the first Power Play unit and it is heavily stacked.
Adam Fox, Jack Hughes, Jack Eichel, Matthews, and Adam Fox are all on the top Power Play unit, which is going to cause a world of hurt for opposing teams.
Thanks to goaltending, a stacked offense, and a strong D-core, there is no doubt that Team USA should be heavily favored to go very far in this tournament.
Of course, there are no guarantees, especially when each nation only gets three chances to increase their position in the tournament standings.
If you are a big fan of hockey, then you should absolutely be watching this tournament.
While remain skeptical, it does seem as though this is going to make for some compelling best-on-best hockey.
