It does, but it's a nomen dubium now and only refers to the holotype tooth as far as I know (?) - note I may be wrong on that

The Alaskan troodontid exists, but there's no reason to think they belong to the genus Troodon either. If more complete, diagnostic material is ever recovered of them then they are more than likely to be named a new genus.
