Cooper Boosts Suzuki to MacKinnon Line
Jon Cooper flips the script on Team Canada lines, sliding Canadiens captain Nick Suzuki onto the second unit with Nathan MacKinnon and Brandon Hagel after practices hinted at a bottom-six role. Suzuki grabs 13:33 of ice time on the wing, tips home his first Olympic goal off a McDavid shot, and ranks second only to the Oilers star in chance creation during Canada's dominant 5-0 rout of Czechia.
