The United States defeated Latvia 3-2 in overtime on Thursday to stay undefeated through four games at the 2018 World Championship.

After Chris Kreider opened the scoring, Latvia responded with two goals to take a 2-1 lead, but Colin White notched the equalizer midway through the second frame.

Early in overtime, USA was awarded a power play, and Cam Atkinson buried the game-winner on a play set up by superstars Patrick Kane and Johnny Gaudreau.

The win places USA atop the Group B standings, and its next game comes Friday against Korea. Latvia, meanwhile, earns a point for the loss and will play Germany on Saturday.
