Nelson Continues Hot Streak with Two Goals for Team USA in Olympic Opener

Colorado Avalanche center Brock Nelson netted two goals and recorded three shots on net in the United States' 5-1 victory over Latvia during Olympic round-robin play Thursday. Nelson's second-period goals included the go-ahead tally, showcasing his continued scoring prowess. He led the NHL with 15 goals since Dec. 29 before the Olympic break, and his two-goal performance confirms his hot hand remains. The 34-year-old center was also denied two potential goals in the first period due to a post shot and linemate J.T. Miller's interference.
