Cole Caufield was not sure if he would accept Team USA's offer at the World Championship, but when GM Bill Guerin stirred the pot, the Canadiens forward changed his mind.
Indeed, Guerin strongly advised the invited players to accept if they wanted to increase their chances of participating in the 2026 Olympics. Let's just say it convinced more than one.
Whether this was the real reason for Cole's acceptance or not, he is present and was the star of his team on Tuesday in a 6-3 win.
With two goals and two assists, he was the best player on his team but was not considered the player of the game.
