Flyers prospects/Team USA teammates Bobby Brink and Cam York led the charge as the Americans blew out the Czech Republic in World Juniors play.

2019 2nd round pick Bobby Brink scored two goals and was named player of the game in the 7-0 rout. He’s now a +5 in three games.

2019 14th overall pick Cam York didn’t find the net, but continues to dominate. He had three assists and logged a team high 22:38 TOI.

York now has six points during the tournament in three games (one goal, five assists).

Cam York has potentially 4 more games for @usahockey in the @iihf_wjc.

If he gets 8 points in those 4 games he will tie the all-time #WJC scoring record for points from a defenseman. (14)

Not likely. But plausible it could occur. He is on pace…#Flyers #NHL
