Oilers well represented at 4 Nations Face-Off despite sluggish start
With two Oilers making Team Sweden, Edmonton will be fairly represented in Montreal and Boston, and perhaps this is best for the team’s Stanley Cup intentions in the long run.
Team Canada has announced its roster for the 4 Nations Face-Off, adding some speed and skill around a core featuring multiple future Hall of Famers.
The 17 players added join the previously announced Sidney Crosby, Cale Makar, Nathan MacKinnon, Brad Marchand, Connor McDavid and Brayden Point.
The new additions are headlined by Maple Leafs superstar Mitch Marner, the NHL’s leading goal scorer in Sam Reinhart of the Panthers and Vegas Golden Knights captain Mark Stone.
