The US left 4 of their top 10 eligible scorers (not including Gadreau/Eichel/Larkin because they weren't allowed to play) at home so plugs like Backes, Abdelkader and Dubinsky could play. They also left 2 of their top defense scorers in Yandle and Shattenkirk at home. Serves them right for not being able to score.
