Team Canada won their first assignment in the tournament by taking down Sweden via overtime, 4-3. But Canada fell prey to Team USA, 3-1, in the following contest that was marred by three consecutive fights right after the game-opening puck drop. McDavid scored Team Canada’s only goal against the Americans.

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.

Connor McDavid said Canada's game against Finland on Monday afternoon would be like a game seven, and he was right. McDavid and Nathan MacKinnon dominated early, while Sidney Crosby saved Canada from a disastrous blown lead with his own heroics.

When it comes to Connor McDavid, Sidney Crosby says “whether it’s with his play or his words, he’s there to lead.” The Oilers star did just that when Canada needed it most on Monday at the 4 Nations Face-Off.
