The line of Adam Valentini and the Ruck twins was the top line for Canada in this contest, dominating every shift in the offensive third and combining for four of their eight goals. All three players on this line played a unique role, creating a unit that just clicked. Markus' contributions to this line were made by his passing. He always knew where his linemates were on the ice, especially his brother Liam. Given this understanding of where his teammates were, the puck would be on Markus' stick for a split second and boom, he'd thread a puck to his brother in the slot area for grade-A scoring chances. Markus registered two assists through these passing sequences, with primary assists on two of his brother's three goals.
