Miller interfered with Latvia\u2019s Elvis Merz\u013cikins, and later hit the post on a power play for good measure.\u201cThere was maybe a little internal (frustration), for sure,\u201d Nelson said. \u201cYou never really know how many looks you\u2019re going to get, so you have that happen and you\u2019re like, \u2018Oh, man, maybe just not tonight.\u2019\u201dBut his bad fortunes took a 180 in the second period when Nelson scored two goals to help lift the Americans to victory.It\u2019s almost fitting that Nelson had his fingerprints all over what was his first career game in the Olympics. He\u2019s got quite the USA Hockey lineage, with his uncle Dave Christian a member of the 1980 Miracle on Ice and his 88-year-old grandfather Bill Christian and great uncle Roger Christian members of the 1960 gold medal-winning Olympic team. Another great uncle, Gord Christian, won a silver medal with the 1956 U.S. Olympic team.\u201c(Nelson) goes from being this prolific, incredible goal scorer \u2014 obviously pitched in with a few today \u2014 but isn\u2019t playing power play, playing PK, out there for important draws, some matchups, D-zone stuff,\u201d Matthew Tkachuk said. \u201cJust the sacrifice, the commitment, the brotherhood, but it\u2019s really just the sacrifice, that\u2019s what\u2019s gonna make our team successful.\u201dYour browser does not support the video tag.0:00 \/ 0:58In what had been a frustrating game, as the Americans couldn\u2019t blow the door off Merz\u013cikins and his hard-working teammates, the United States seized control during a dominant middle frame.Brady Tkachuk scored an early first-period goal, Tage Thompson and Auston Matthews scored power-play goals and Jack Hughes, Quinn Hughes, Jack Eichel and Matthew Tkachuk had a couple of assists each.Connor Hellebuyck got the start and made 17 saves. Merzlikins was pulled after two periods.\u201cI think (the coach) just wanted to change some energy. It\u2019s already 4-1,\u201d Merzlikins said, smiling. \u201cThey took complete control over us in the end of the second. That\u2019s us, I mean, we\u2019re a small, tiny country. Those are big hockey players there. We all saw the tic-tac-toes and everything else. So I think it was just (the coach) thought he would change the environment.\u201dThe United States next plays Saturday against Denmark. Latvia will play Germany earlier the same day.\n \n \n \n \n What You Should Read Next\n \n \n \n \n Canada begins quest for gold with decisive win over Czechia in Olympic men\u2019s hockey\n \n \n Canada routed the Czech Republic on Thursday in its Olympic opener. The Canadians face Switzerland on Friday.\n \n \n \n \n \n First-period frustrationWhen Quinn Hughes took a Miller feed in the slot and snapped off a perfect shot into the upper-right corner of the net, the rout appeared to be on.The hockey gods \u2014 and Latvia\u2019s video coach P\u0113teris Groms \u2014 had other ideas.Latvia head coach Harijs Vitolins challenged the play, believing Nelson was offside. Nelson joked that he was confused by the rink, which is shorter than an NHL rink, and that\u2019s why he was offside.The officials agreed, the goal was waved off, and just 26 seconds later, Latvia tied the game 1-1. A Matt Boldy turnover led to a scramble in front of the net, and Renars Krasternbergs \u2014 who never got higher than the ECHL\u2019s Wheeling Nailers in North America \u2014 swatted in a loose puck. In between the overturned American goal and the Latvian goal, American captain Matthews took an elbow to the face from Dans Locmelis, which went uncalled.Team USA\u2019s frustrations were only beginning, though. Nelson tipped in a Brock Faber shot from the point to give the Americans the lead again. Or so they thought: Vitolins challenged again, this time for goaltender interference. After a lengthy review of Miller\u2019s brushing of Merz\u013cikins in the crease, the goal was again overturned, leaving the game tied. Just like that, Miller, one of American general manager Bill Guerin\u2019s more controversial picks, had two assists wiped out in less than five minutes.Coach Sullivan didn\u2019t agree with the call, but the international rules, there\u2019s little tolerance for crease violations and he\u2019s proud how it didn\u2019t deflate his group.\u201cThose are hard calls,\u201d Miller said. \u201cThere\u2019s not a lot of contact, but also close.\u201dLatvia almost responded again seconds later, only this time by taking the lead. But Boldy made amends for his gaffe leading to the first goal by saving a goal this time around.The Americans got back on their toes and started to push the play again, but continued to be stymied. Nelson \u2014 yep, him again \u2014 drilled a shot off the right post during a late power play, and Matthew Tkachuk found the crossbar in the final minute of the period, leaving the Americans to file back into the intermission somehow still tied with Latvia through 20 minutes.Thompson comes up bigGuerin didn\u2019t bring Jason Robertson or Cole Caufield, but he did add some offensive punch to the lineup after the 4 Nations Face-Off loss last February by putting Buffalo\u2019s towering Tage Thompson on the roster. Thompson eased into his Olympics debut, looking perhaps a little tentative early on. But late in the second period, with the Americans nursing a one-goal lead, he scored a beauty of a power-play goal, taking a Jack Eichel feed at the side of the net and roofing a backhander over Merz\u013cikins\u2019 right shoulder for some much-needed breathing room.Being on a power-play unit with Matthews, Eichel, Quinn Hughes and Matthew Tkachuk is certainly something, Thompson said before the game.\u201cIt\u2019s awesome,\u201d he said. \u201cI mean, everyone\u2019s a threat. It\u2019s fun, a ton of skill. I\u2019m just trying to do my part and hopefully help contribute some goals.\u201dThompson already etched his name in American hockey history with the overtime winner in the gold medal game of the World Championship last May, giving the United States its first title in that event in 92 years.U.S. fourth line shinesGuerin has gotten a lot of flak for passing over Robertson and Caufield for the likes of Miller and Vincent Trocheck, but Guerin\u2019s been steadfast in his belief that the Olympics are not meant to be an All-Star Game and there needs to be players who grasp the not-so glamorous roles.\n \n \n \n \n What You Should Read Next\n \n \n \n \n You don\u2019t have to like Bill Guerin\u2019s gutsy Olympic roster decisions to respect his choices\n \n \n In two weeks, the American GM will either be the man who built the perfect roster or the one who squandered the golden age of U.S. hockey.\n \n \n \n \n \n So when Jake Guentzel took a penalty in the first minute of the second period, it wasn\u2019t shocking to see Miller and Trocheck be first over the boards. And after just one rotation of forwards Dylan Larkin and Nelson, Miller and Trocheck were right back out there for the easy kill.But Miller made his presence felt in the first period and was oh-so close to a couple points, Trocheck (who was technically the 13th forward) assisted on one of Nelson\u2019s goals and Nelson scored twice.And then there\u2019s Jack Hughes, who\u2019s not your typical fourth-liner, that\u2019s for sure. The New Jersey Devils star didn\u2019t pout and had the primary assist on both of Nelson\u2019s goals.\u201cThey were terrific tonight,\u201d Sullivan said of Nelson, Miller, Trocheck and Jack Hughes. \u201cThe way the team\u2019s constructed, it\u2019s really difficult to call any line the fourth line on this team. I just think we\u2019re trying to put skill sets together that we think give us the balance that we need on both sides of the puck to be able to utilize the depth of our bench to our advantage. And those guys, they had a good night for us tonight.\u201dAdded Miller, \u201cWe kind of had a little rotation going between a handful of us. We just played a pretty simplistic game, kept it below the hashmarks as much as we can and try to create that way.\u201dHellebuyck gets the initial startLike Jordan Binnington getting the first start for victorious Canada, Hellebuyck likely earned the Olympic start in the 4 Nations Face-Off when he played so well for a U.S. team that lost in overtime to Canada in the final.Well, that, and the fact he\u2019s the reigning Hart and Vezina Trophy winner despite a down year in Winnipeg.Hellebuyck gave up the early goal and he certainly wasn\u2019t tested much, but so far, so good, as he backstopped the United States to its first victory.Interestingly, Jeremy Swayman backed him up rather than Jake Oettinger, who was the second goalie during the 4 Nations and started one game there. It sounds like Swayman will be Hellebuyck\u2019s backup in this tournament.\u201cThat was another difficult decision,\u201d Sullivan said. \u201cThey\u2019re all elite goaltenders. Sway has had a really good start to the season and that was the thing that weighed into the conversation. \u2026 Not that Jake hasn\u2019t.\u201d\nBy\u00a0Michael Russo and Mark Lazerus\n \n Feb 13, 2026SUPPORTED BYConnections: Sports EditionSpot the pattern.
