MONTREAL - Although forward Troy Terry of the U.S. national junior team was named after former All-Pro Dallas Cowboys quarterback Troy Aikman, he'll be remembered as the kid who had something in common with Chicago Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews and Washington Capitals forward T.J. Oshie.
Terry (Anaheim Ducks), who has primarily served as a fourth-line grinder at the 2017 IIHF World Junior Championship, brought back memories of Toews and Oshie when he scored three shootout goals on three attempts to give the U.S. a 4-3 win against Russia in the semifinals at Bell Centre on Wednesday.
