The last two first overall NHL draft picks hooked up for quite a goal at the World Cup on Monday night.
Connor McDavid sped into Russia's zone and dished the puck to Auston Matthews, who deposited the puck past Sergei Bobrovsky for his first goal in his new NHL home - Toronto's Air Canada Centre.
The tally gave North America an early 1-0 lead over Russia.
