Tyler Johnson is playing in all situations for Team USA and he's enjoying the experience of playing in the World Hockey Championship. "It's been fun. I like to be one of the guys that makes a difference. I like to feel like I can do that," he said. "And to have the opportunity that I've been having and to be able to play as much in the situations that I have, I've been just trying to help the team out as much as possible. So it's been great. I don't really look at it as No. 1 center or anything like that. I'm just trying to help the team out and help everyone move on." Johnson is the only forward on the team averaging more than 20 minutes per contest. He contributed four goals and seven points in seven games during the preliminary round.
