Marian Gaborik, Leon Draisaitl and Pierre-Edouard Bellemare scored, Jaroslav Halak made 35 saves and Team Europe upset the United States 3-0 on Saturday in a stunning opening game at the World Cup of Hockey. Playing his first game since March 8 because of a groin injury, Halak was up to the task, especially in the third period. A mistake by defenseman Ryan McDonagh allowed Europe to get a 2-on-1 rush for Gaborik's goal, and a turnover by Hart Trophy winner Patrick Kane set up a 2-on-0 for Draisaitl's.
