Matthews notched his third point and second goal of the game with a rising wrister in the late stages of regulation on Saturday.

The goal capped off Team USA's 6-3 victory over Belarus and matched the projected second overall pick at this year's NHL Draft - Laine - who had two goals and an assist in Finland's 6-2 win over Belarus on Friday.

With that, the story line for Monday's game between the Americans and the Finns appears to be set.
