The forward group is headlined by marquee players like Auston Matthews, Jack Eichel, and Matthew Tkachuk. Joining them are dynamic scorers Jack Hughes, Kyle Connor, and Jake Guentzel, along with physical powerhouses Brady Tkachuk and J.T. Miller. Veterans like Chris Kreider and Vincent Trocheck bring experience, while Matt Boldy and Dylan Larkin add a blend of speed and youth.

It’s not clear what the status is of Miller, who is taking a personal leave from the Canucks.

On defense, Team USA boasts a formidable blue line led by Quinn Hughes, Adam Fox, and Charlie McAvoy. The unit also features steady hands in Jaccob Slavin and Zach Werenski, with Noah Hanifin and Brock Faber providing additional depth.

In goal, the Americans may have their greatest strength. Connor Hellebuyck, in the prime of his career, is joined by two stellar backups in Jake Oettinger and Jeremy Swayman, forming arguably the best goaltending trio in the tournament.
