Per SI’s Sarah Kwak, Team USA’s lines are the following:

James van Riemsdyk-Joe Pavelski-Phil Kessel
Zach Parise-David Backes-TJ Oshie
Dustin Brown-Ryan Kesler-Patrick Kane
Ryan Callahan-Paul Stastny-Max Pacioretty

That is a very deep two-way roster, but doesn’t have the offensive punch of the Canadians. No, seriously, Matt Duchene and Martin St. Louis are the 13th and 14th forwards for Canada. That’s absurd.

Derek Stepan is currently slated as the 13th forward, who will add offense if one of the top four centers get injured.

Defensive pairings:

Ryan McDonagh-John Carlson
Cam Fowler-Ryan Suter
Kevin Shattenkirk-Paul Martin
