That shootout, as you may recall, occurred 12 years ago in Team USA’s 3–2 victory over Russia during the preliminary round at the 2014 Sochi Games. After USA and Russia battled to a 2–2 tie in regulation, coach Dan Bylsma called Oshie’s name six times in the tiebreaking shootout—including the last five Team USA attempts—and he delivered with four goals to defeat goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky and the Russians on their home ice.
