It seems Winnipeg Jets Evander Kane and captain Andrew Ladd didn't get enough scoring done during the regular season and maybe their disappointing first year in Winnipeg (at least at not making the playoffs) has spurned them on enough to become integrable cogs in the Team Canada machine that has jumped to first place in their group at the IIHF world hockey championship with, as of this writing, a 5-0-1 record (one overtime loss) for 16 points. Three points are awarded for a win, one point for an overtime loss. Host team Finland is in second with 12 points. As for their contributions in the scoring department, Kane three goals and two assists for five points in six games including the winner against Finland, while Ladd has contributed one goal and one assist for two points in six games.
Jets GST member Jim Slater has two goals and an assist for three points for team USA.
