The pairing of Jack Eichel and Johnny Gaudreau just clicks.

Gaudreau scored twice and Eichel added two assists Monday, leading the United States to a 4-3 victory over Sweden at the world championships in Cologne, Germany. The Americans improved to 2-1 and pulled into a tie for second in their eight-team group. The top four advance to the next round after a seven-game round robin.

Eichel helped pull the United States into a 1-1 tie just 3:21 into the game. Carrying the puck on a two-on-one, the Sabres center shot the puck off the pad of Swedish goaltender Viktor Fasth, allowing Clayton Keller to cash in the carom.

The Americans tied the game, 3-3, early in the second after Eichel fed a streaking Gaudreau deep in the Sweden zone.
