The 4 Nations Face-Off is scheduled to start this Wednesday, with Connor McDavid and Canada locking horns with Sweden at Bell Centre in Montreal. Canada boast of a stacked roster, featuring the likes of Sidney Crosby of the Pittsburgh Penguins,

McDavid did play in the 2016 World Cup of Hockey, but on an under-23 North American squad rather than for Team Canada. He captained a high-flying collection of the game’s preeminent talents like Nathan MacKinnon, Auston Matthews, Jack Eichel and the late Johnny Gaudreau.

Connor McDavid is about to play for Team Canada in an international tournament for the first time in his NHL career, finally giving him the chance to play with Sidney Crosby.

Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid participated in Team Canada’s first practice ahead of the 4 Nations Face-Off and was put on a line with Mitch Marner and Sam Reinhart.
