Jack Eichel doesn't need to improve his NHL draft stock at the World Hockey Championship, but he's helping the United States in its quest to win a bronze medal.

The projected second-overall pick has impressed in the Czech Republic, and he added to his highlight reel with a terrific play against the host side Sunday.

Eichel carried the puck out of the corner along the boards, then quickly spun and fired a perfect pass to Los Angeles Kings forward Trevor Lewis, who gave the U.S. a 2-0 lead late in the first period.

Eichel is the youngest player on the American roster, but he has two goals and five assists in 10 games at the tournament.
